Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Whitingham, VT. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Whitingham, VT. who have a seriousaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
