Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Aitkin, MN. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might 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 Aitkin, MN. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
