Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Hampstead, North Carolina are ordinarily 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 demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the individual abstinent through detoxification followed by a brief 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 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 Hampstead, North Carolina who have a seriousaddiction to drugs.
