Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Santa Barbara, California are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Santa Barbara, California who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
