Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in South Berwick, ME. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues.
