Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Coaldale, PA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Coaldale who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
