Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Marcus, IA. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may 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 Marcus who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
