Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Pinehurst, MA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though 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 rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Pinehurst who have a seriousaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
