Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Voluntown are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time 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 by getting the individual abstinent through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may 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 Voluntown who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
