Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elk Creek are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 by getting the individual rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 adequate for those in Elk Creek who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
