Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cape Elizabeth are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Cape Elizabeth who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
