Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Big Stone Gap are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address all issues 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 Big Stone Gap who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
