Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Virgie are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short 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 may 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 Virgie, Kentucky who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
