Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mount Pleasant, Iowa are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Mount Pleasant, Iowa who have a long termaddiction to drugs.
