Many people who will need alcohol and drug treatment in Burien, Washington may opt for a residential short-term alcohol and drug treatment program that requires a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may be an appropriate rehab choice for people who have family or office commitments, and only require a brief but intensive course of treatment. Moreover, individuals with a very brief background of drug addiction might find this to be an appropriate option while a person who has a more significant and critical case of abuse and addiction may very definitely need a more intensive course of treatment. If someone does have an extensive history of drug and alcohol abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term rehabilitation program of 30 days or less, it is frequently required that the client agree to regular follow-up care or take part in an aftercare facility in which their progress can be overseen and so they can be supported in their rehab process as much as feasible.
