Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Skokie, IL.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that is brief, and usually lasts   from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because rehab is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab centers in Skokie have intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater among clients who only get short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day treatment center at least have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
