Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Thompson, IA. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab 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 individual rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Thompson who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
