Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Fort Monroe are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential 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 rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Fort Monroe who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
