Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in West Decatur are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 followed by a brief 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 bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in West Decatur who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
