Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in St. Mary, Kentucky are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehabilitation requires 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 detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address all issues which might 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 St. Mary, KY. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
