Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Blacksburg, Virginia are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may 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 adequate for those in Blacksburg who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
