Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ellsworth, Maine are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab typically demands 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 individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Ellsworth who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
