Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mathews, AL. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period 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 individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Mathews who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
