Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Blue Island are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands 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 detox followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Blue Island who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
