Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Los Altos are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Los Altos, California who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
