Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in North Highlands, California are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 short course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly 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 North Highlands, California who have a long termdependence and addiction to drugs.
