Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Orleans are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 Orleans, MA. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
