Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Devens, Massachusetts are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Devens who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
