Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in El Dorado, CA. are typically 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 much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might 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 adequate for those in El Dorado who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
