Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Locust Dale, VA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything 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 sufficient for those in Locust Dale, Virginia who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
