Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Essex Junction, VT. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration 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 individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes 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 sufficient for those in Essex Junction, VT. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
