Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Thompsons Station are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires 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 detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 adequate for those in Thompsons Station, Tennessee who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
