Some men and women choose to receive treatment in a residential short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which calls for a stay of 30 days or less. This treatment selection is sometimes appropriate for men and women in Charlton, MA. who have family or work commitments, and only require a brief but intense stint in rehab. People in Charlton, MA. with only a short history of alcohol and drug abuse may also find this to be a suitable option. Someone in Charlton, MA. who has a more extensive and serious case of misuse and addiction may require a far more intensive program of treatment. If a person does have an extensive background of abuse and makes the decision to choose a residential short-term treatment option of 30 days or less, it is often encouraged that they acquire standard follow-up support or take part in an aftercare program where their progress can be monitored in their treatment process in every way possible.
