Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elberfeld are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Elberfeld who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
