Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Joppa, Alabama are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation 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 in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since 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 adequate for those in Joppa, Alabama who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
