Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Knoxville, GA. are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration 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 abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Knoxville, Georgia who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
