Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Zachary, LA. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Zachary, LA. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
