Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Clinchfield, GA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding 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 counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could hang the person up and 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 Clinchfield who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
