Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Spencertown are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot 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 usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could 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 Spencertown, NY. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
