Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ottawa, West Virginia are typically 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 much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Ottawa, West Virginia who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
