Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ellendale are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential 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 short 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 Ellendale who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
