Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may hang the person up and 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 Oak Bluffs who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
