Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Aiken are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands 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 individual abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Aiken who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
