Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Nightmute are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug rehabilitation 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 addicted person rehabilitated through detoxification followed by a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address all issues which could hang the person up and trigger relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Nightmute who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs.
