Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Punta Gorda, FL. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much 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 short 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 trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Punta Gorda who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
