Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Central Square are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes 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 Central Square who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
