Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Points are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration 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 to get 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 might 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 Points who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
