Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Livingston are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a 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 individual rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Livingston who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
