Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Riverhead, NY. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could 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 Riverhead who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
