Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Wheaton, MD. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands 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 individual rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may hang the person up and 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 Wheaton who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
