Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Dunseith are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential setting for a 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 by getting the addicted person abstinent 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 fully address all issues which may 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 Dunseith, North Dakota who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
