Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Atlantic Beach are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment 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 addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which may 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 Atlantic Beach, New York who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
