Some people looking into alcohol and drug treatment in Brookeville, MD. may choose to take part in a residential short-term drug and alcohol treatment center which only requires a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may be a suitable rehab option for clients who have personal or other extensive obligations, and only need a short but somewhat intensive time in treatment. In addition, people that have a very brief background of drug and alcohol abuse may find that this may be a valid option whereas somebody who has a more significant and serious case of abuse and addiction may very definitely need a much more intensive time in rehabilitation. If someone evidently has an extensive history of drug and alcohol abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term rehab facility of 30 days or less, it is very often required that they follow up this treatment with standard follow-up treatment or take part in an aftercare facility so that their progress can be monitored and so can receive the support needed in their rehab process as often as feasible.
