Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Dawson, Texas are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period 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 rehabilitated through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may 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 adequate for those in Dawson who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
