Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Loretto are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely 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 adequate for those in Loretto who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
