Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Hanover, MA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though 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 rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 Hanover, MA. who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
