Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Amherst, Massachusetts are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Amherst, Massachusetts who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
