Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Shepherdsville are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Shepherdsville who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
