Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ponderosa, New Mexico are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While 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 addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues 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 sufficient for those in Ponderosa who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
