Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Altamont are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Altamont who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
