Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Denham Springs are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything 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 Denham Springs who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
