Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Continental Divide, NM. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Continental Divide who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
