Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Gainesville, FL. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation 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 detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Gainesville, FL. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
