Short Term Addiction Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - West Dover, VT.

Short Term drug rehabilitation is a term used to mean addiction rehab that does not last long and usually lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient treatment center. Because treatment is so short, it is an ideal option cost-wise in most cases and for clients who for some reason can't commit to long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in West Dover offer 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 individuals will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of rehab at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab facility is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make treatment within the specific timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Relapse rates are higher with people who only receive short term treatment as opposed to long term. Clients who participate in short term drug rehab and then phase into an outpatient program or day rehab center at least have better odds of maintaining their sobriety, because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
