Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Spencer, WV. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Spencer, West Virginia who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
