Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Saginaw, AL. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much 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 brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which could 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 Saginaw, AL. who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
