Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Gonzales are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands 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 detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Gonzales, Louisiana who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
