Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Avenal, California are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may 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 sufficient for those in Avenal who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
