Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Gueydan, LA. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully 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 Gueydan who have a long termaddiction to drugs.
