Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Oxford, Connecticut are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely 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 recommended for those in Oxford who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
