Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in East Islip are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in East Islip who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
