Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Memphis are usually 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 addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might 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 recommended for those in Memphis who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
