Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Altamont, Tennessee are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a 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 to get the individual abstinent through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could 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 Altamont who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
