Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Monroe City, MO. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period 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 to get the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Monroe City, Missouri who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
