Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Oakdale are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Oakdale who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
