Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Portland are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Portland, ME. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
