Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Melbourne, IA. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may 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 sufficient for those in Melbourne, Iowa who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
