Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Winston Salem, NC. are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though 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 rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 Winston Salem, North Carolina who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
