Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elk Creek, California are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might 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 Elk Creek, California who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
