Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Germantown, MD. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 sufficient for those in Germantown, MD. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
