Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in West Point, Iowa are usually 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which might hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in West Point who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
