Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Denver are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Denver, North Carolina who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
