Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Friendship, Maryland are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Friendship, Maryland who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs.
