Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Knotts Island, North Carolina are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a time period 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 to get the individual rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues.
