Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Scotland are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might 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 adequate for those in Scotland, AR. who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
