Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Thomson, IL.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehab is a phrase used to mean substance abuse rehab that is brief, and usually lasts anywhere 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 people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehabilitation programs in Thomson have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehabilitation within the timeframe much harder as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are greater with individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment program have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
