Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Girdwood, AK. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment 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 short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with emotional addiction issues. Because it can take several weeks if not months to fully address everything which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Girdwood, Alaska who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
