Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Jamaica Plain are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Jamaica Plain who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
