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

Short Term drug and alcohol rehabilitation is a term used to mean substance abuse treatment that does not last long and   lasts   from 14 to thirty days in either a residential or in-patient rehab program. Because rehab is so brief, it is a great financial option in most cases and for individuals who cannot endure long-term rehabilitation.

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in West Townshend have 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 go through total detox before beginning treatment. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehab center is that many individuals may still be experiencing the initial phases of withdrawal and may not be able to focus as well as someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehab within the timeframe much harder as individuals may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense cravings.

Recidivism rates are understandably higher with people who only go through short term treatment as opposed to long term. People who participate in short term drug rehab and then transition into an outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of staying sober because they will maintain a support system while they transition to a sober lifestyle.
