Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elma, IA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may 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 Elma, Iowa who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
