Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Chatom are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Chatom who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
