Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Petaluma, CA. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated 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 fully address all issues which may 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 recommended for those in Petaluma who have a seriousaddiction to drugs.
