Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Sour Lake are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything 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 recommended for those in Sour Lake who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
