Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Springfield, LA. are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period 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 detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Springfield who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
