Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ogdensburg, New York are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything 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 recommended for those in Ogdensburg who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
