Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Big Lake are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which may hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be recommended for those in Big Lake, AK. who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
