Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in North Charleston, South Carolina are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might 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 North Charleston who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
