Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Ringgold are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires 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 individual abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Ringgold, Louisiana who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
