Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Riverside, CA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Riverside, CA. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
