Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in North Montpelier, VT. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in North Montpelier who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
