Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Greensboro, GA. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could 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 adequate for those in Greensboro, Georgia who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
