Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Merna are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because 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 Merna who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
