Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Santa Maria, California are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may 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 Santa Maria who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
