Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Derry, NH. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Derry, NH. who have a long termaddiction to drugs.
