Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Englewood, Colorado are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Englewood, Colorado who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
