Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Williamstown are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might 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 sufficient for those in Williamstown, MA. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
