Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Norristown 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief 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 may cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Norristown who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
