Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Animas, New Mexico are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Animas who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
