Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Scotia, SC. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief 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 could hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Scotia, SC. who have a long termaddiction to drugs.
