Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ames, IA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with 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 sufficient for those in Ames, IA. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
