Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mexico, Pennsylvania are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Mexico, Pennsylvania who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
