Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Middletown, Virginia are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding 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 emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely 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 Middletown who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
