Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Allentown, Pennsylvania are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully 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 recommended for those in Allentown, Pennsylvania who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
