Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Rensselaerville, New York are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely 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 Rensselaerville who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
