Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Abita Springs, LA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 by getting the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could 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 Abita Springs, LA. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
