Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Pontotoc are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period 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 rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might 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 Pontotoc who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
