Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Richmond, Illinois are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 Richmond who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
