Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Westwood, New Jersey are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Westwood who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
