Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cortez, CO. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Cortez who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
