Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Galax are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential facility 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 rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might 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 Galax, Virginia who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
