Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Houston, Texas are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation typically demands 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 detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Houston, Texas who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
