Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in El Paso are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which may trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in El Paso who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
