Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Douds, IA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 to get the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Douds who have a trueaddiction to drugs and alcohol.
