Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Meridian are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully 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 sufficient for those in Meridian, MS. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
