Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Nevada are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient facility for a period 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detox in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it usually takes several weeks if not months to truly address all issues which may 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 Nevada who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
