Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Guernsey, IA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Guernsey who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
