Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Lafayette are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person 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 completely address all issues which might hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Lafayette who have a seriousdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
