Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Avoca are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Avoca who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
