Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Gretna, VA. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 rehabilitated 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 fully address everything which could hang the person up and 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 Gretna who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
