Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ipswich, Massachusetts are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands 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 detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Ipswich who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
