30-days recovery programs are short-term treatment programs. In most cases, it lasts for as long as 28 days. This is meant particularly for those who are not able to take a break from their work and everyday life for treatment. In this form of treatment programs, many behavioral therapies, and techniques are devised for helping the addict through the short-term treatment program. These forms of treatment programs are generally for those who have a mild addiction. Though long-term treatment programs are more effective, the short-term program can help those who cannot devote much time to the treatment process.
