Short Term Addiction Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East St. Johnsbury, VT.

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential treatment program. Because rehabilitation is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason cannot commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in East St. Johnsbury offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time allowed for treatment services, most individuals will need to experience full detoxification before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that clients may still be in the beginning stages of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as individuals may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are greater among people who only receive short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab program have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
