Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ellenwood, Georgia are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and 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 Ellenwood who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
