Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Bellingham, WA. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Bellingham, WA. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
