Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Prairie City, IA. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation typically demands 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 addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may hang the person up and bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Prairie City who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
