Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Whittemore are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a period 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 to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which may 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 recommended for those in Whittemore who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
