Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Jamaica are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Jamaica who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
