Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Bucksport, Maine are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration 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 by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 adequate for those in Bucksport who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
