Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Palo Verde, Arizona are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Palo Verde who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
