Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cottonwood, CA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 Cottonwood who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
