Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Springfield, Kentucky are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period 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 addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues 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 sufficient for those in Springfield, KY. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
