Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Pasadena, Maryland are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might 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 Pasadena, MD. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
