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

Short Term substance abuse rehab is a term used for substance abuse rehab that does not last long and   lasts anywhere from fourteen to 30 days in either a residential or in-patient rehab facility. Because treatment is so short, it is a great financial option and for individuals who for some reason can't commit to long-term treatment.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in Washington have group and individual counseling and psychotherapy 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 be fully detoxed before beginning treatment services. One of the disadvantages of rehabilitation at a short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed completely. This can make rehab within the timeframe much more challenging, as people may be physically uncomfortable and moody while experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably greater with clients who only go through short term rehabilitation as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehabilitation center at least have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
