Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elm are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might 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 Elm who have a seriousaddiction to drugs.
