Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Brookline, MA. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration 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 to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with 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 may 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 Brookline, MA. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
