Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Elmwood, IL. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues.
