Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Plato, MO. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much 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 brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything 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 recommended for those in Plato who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
