Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Decatur, GA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Decatur, Georgia who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
