Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Townshend, VT.

Short Term drug and alcohol rehab is a phrase used for addiction treatment that does not last long and usually lasts anywhere from 14 to 30 days in either an inpatient or residential rehabilitation facility. Because treatment is so brief, it is a great financial option and for people who cannot endure long-term treatment.

Most short-term drug rehab programs in Townshend have intensive group and individual counseling and psychotherapy which in the context of addiction treatment is essentially relapse prevention. Because of the brief time clients are in treatment, most individuals will need to go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab program is that clients may still be in the initial stages of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has detoxed and stabilized fully. This can make rehab within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as clients may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably higher among clients who only receive short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term alcohol and drug rehabilitation and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab program have more of a chance of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
