How do I get the odor of oil-based paint out of my cabinets/drawers?

We just moved into a freshly painted home. All the closets, cabinets, drawers, shelves etc. were painted with oil-based paint. We had to move in within 2-3 days of the painting (unavoidable). I have been keeping the doors/drawers partially open (I have to be careful how much, as I have curious cats). We have been in the home for a week and the smell is not dissipating at all; I am afraid that all my clean clothes and linens will smell like paint. Is there anything I can do to hasten getting rid of the smell or something I can place in those areas? Thanks!
