Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Athens, Pennsylvania are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential 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 to get the individual abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Athens who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
