Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Leon are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which could result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Leon, Iowa who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
