Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Dawson, MN. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehab requires 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Dawson, MN. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
