Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Nunapitchuk are usually delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a duration of 30 days or less. While 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 by getting the addicted person rehabilitated through detox followed by a brief course of counseling and therapy to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to fully address everything which could hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Nunapitchuk who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs.
