Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Richardsville, VA. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly 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 Richardsville who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
