Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Skellytown, TX. are typically delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which could 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 adequate for those in Skellytown, Texas who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
