Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Gordo, Alabama who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
