Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Lotus, CA. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully 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 Lotus who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
