Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Sylvan Lake, MI. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues 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 recommended for those in Sylvan Lake, MI. who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
