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

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

Most short-term drug and alcohol rehab programs in Northfield offer intensive psychotherapy and individual/group counseling which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the short time allowed for treatment services, most people will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many clients may still be experiencing the beginning stages 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 people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are greater with clients who only receive short term treatment . Clients who participate in short term drug and alcohol rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation facility have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
