Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in North Washington are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may 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 Washington who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
