Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Hereford, PA. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues 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 sufficient for those in Hereford who have a seriousdependence and addiction to drugs.
