Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Lebanon are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot 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 short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may hang the person up and 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 Lebanon who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs.
