Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Patterson, New York are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Patterson who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
