Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Gilbertville are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Gilbertville who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs.
