Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Cressey are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Cressey, California who have a seriousaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
