Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Fairbanks are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a duration of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which could 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 recommended for those in Fairbanks, Louisiana who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
