Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Severn are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient 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 rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may 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 Severn who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
