Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Medicine Lodge are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Medicine Lodge who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
