Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Festus are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While 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 to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might 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 sufficient for those in Festus who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
