Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Columbus are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Columbus, Montana who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
