Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Malabar are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with 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 might result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Malabar who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
