Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in West Chatham, MA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in West Chatham who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
