Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Houston, TX. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might 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 Houston who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
