Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Meridian, ID. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could 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 sufficient for those in Meridian who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
