Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Northfield, Illinois are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Northfield, Illinois who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
