Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Denver, CO. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 individual rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Denver, CO. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
