Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Albany, GA. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues 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 Albany who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
