Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Spencer are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration 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 by getting the individual rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Spencer who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
