Some men and women choose to receive treatment in a residential short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which requires a stay of 30 days or less. This rehab option is sometimes appropriate for people in Elizabeth City, NC. who have familial or other responsibilities, and only require a short but intense course of treatment. People in Elizabeth City, NC. with only a short background of drug abuse may also find this to be a suitable option. Someone in Elizabeth City, NC. who has a significant and serious case of misuse and addiction may require a far more extensive course of treatment. If a person does have an extensive history of abuse and makes the decision to select a residential short-term treatment option of 30 days or less, it is often encouraged that they acquire regular follow-up support or take part in an aftercare program so that their development can be monitored in their rehabilitation process in every way possible.
