Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Guilford, NY. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires 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 deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Guilford, NY. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
