Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Winnetka, IL. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period of 30 days or less. While 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 brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Winnetka, Illinois who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
