Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elk Point, SD. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may bring about 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 Point who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
