Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Dartmouth are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Dartmouth, MA. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
