Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Pettus are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Pettus who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
