Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Guntersville, AL. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment typically demands 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 addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may 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 adequate for those in Guntersville, Alabama who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
