Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in St. Thomas, PA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands 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 individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and bring about 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. Thomas, PA. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
