Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Hanover, VA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time 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 individual abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Hanover, VA. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
