Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Westbrook are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Westbrook, ME. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
