While 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 to get the individual rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could 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 San Marcos, Texas who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
