Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elizabeth are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could 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 sufficient for those in Elizabeth who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
