Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Sardinia are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 adequate for those in Sardinia who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
