Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Readville, MA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration 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 by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully 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 Readville, MA. who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
