Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Rocky Ridge are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Rocky Ridge who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
