Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Columbia Heights are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 recommended for those in Columbia Heights who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
