Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina are typically delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab typically demands at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with 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 all issues which could 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 Kill Devil Hills who have a long termaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
