Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Hathorne, MA. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous 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 address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Hathorne, MA. who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
