Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Marine On St. Croix are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a duration of 30 days or less. Though long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Marine On St. Croix who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
