Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Burlington, VT.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a phrase used for addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is an ideal option cost-wise and for clients who can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term substance abuse rehab programs in Burlington offer psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to experience full detoxification before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation center is that clients may still be experiencing the initial 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 individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
