Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elk Creek, MO. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief 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 could 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 sufficient for those in Elk Creek who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
