Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in St. Paul are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could 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 St. Paul who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
