Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elk City, Kansas are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Elk City, KS. who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
