Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mertztown, Pennsylvania are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a 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 to get the individual abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may hang the person up and 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 Mertztown, Pennsylvania who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
