Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Richwood, NJ. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Richwood, NJ. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
