Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Sanford, FL. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and 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 Sanford, FL. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
