Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Colchester, VT.

Short Term drug rehab is a phrase used for substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from fourteen to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason cannot commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Colchester offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which is basically relapse prevention. Because of the short time clients are in treatment, most people will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much harder as clients may be physically uncomfortable and moody and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with individuals who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
