Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Van Nuys, California are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 sufficient for those in Van Nuys, CA. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
