Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cromwell are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could 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 Cromwell, Connecticut who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
