Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Northlake, Illinois are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues.
