Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mcalester, Oklahoma are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation typically demands 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 followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could 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 sufficient for those in Mcalester who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
