Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Pontiac, MI. are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though 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 by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which may bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Pontiac, MI. who have a trueaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
