Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cresco, Iowa are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief 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 result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Cresco, Iowa who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
