Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in St. Anthony, IA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time 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 by getting the individual rehabilitated through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could 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 adequate for those in St. Anthony who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
