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

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

Most short-term alcohol and drug rehab centers in Westfield have 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 clients will need to be fully detoxed before beginning services. One of the disadvantages of treatment at a short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program is that many people may still be in the beginning phases of withdrawal and may be more unfocused than someone who has stabilized and detoxed fully. This can make rehabilitation within the specific timeframe much more challenging, as people may be moody and physically uncomfortable and experiencing intense physical and emotional cravings.

Relapse rates are understandably greater among individuals who only get short term treatment as opposed to long term. Individuals who participate in short term substance abuse rehab and then transition into an intensive outpatient program or day rehab center have better odds of staying sober because they will keep up a support system while they progress in their new sober lifestyle.
