Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Brattleboro are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires 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 detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could 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 Brattleboro who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
