Though long term drug rehabilitation typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Shellsburg who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
