Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Waterville are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Waterville who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
