Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Clifton are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might 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 Clifton who have a seriousaddiction to drugs.
