Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - St. Albans, VT.

Short Term alcohol and drug rehabilitation is a phrase used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either an inpatient or residential rehab facility. Because rehabilitation is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who for some reason can't endure long-term treatment.

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

Relapse rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehab as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehabilitation and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment center have more of a chance of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
