Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in St. Johnsbury Center are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in St. Johnsbury Center, Vermont who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
