Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Wharncliffe, WV. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a 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 followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Wharncliffe, WV. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
