Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in New Salem, ND. are ordinarily delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. Though 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 to get the addicted person abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a brief course of therapy and counseling to lightly deal with addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to truly address everything which might bring about relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in New Salem who have a seriousaddiction and/or dependence to drugs and alcohol.
