Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Johnsbury Center, VT.

Short Term drug rehab is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that is brief, and   lasts   from fourteen to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation center. Because rehab is not long, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot endure long-term rehab.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in St. Johnsbury Center 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term substance abuse rehab center is that individuals may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has detoxed and stabilized completely. This can make treatment within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable while experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day treatment facility at least have a better chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will keep up a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
