Many individuals looking into drug and alcohol treatment in Highlands may choose to take part in an inpatient short-term alcohol and drug rehab facility which requires a stay of as little as a month. This might be an appropriate rehabilitation possibility for individuals who have familial or job commitments, and only require a quick but intensive course of rehab. In addition, people with only a brief background of drug and alcohol abuse might find this to be a suitable choice while someone with a more significant and severe history of abuse and addiction might require a more in depth time spent in rehab. If an individual does have a more serious background of drug and alcohol abuse and decides on a residential short-term treatment program of as little as a month, it is very often required that the client agree to regular follow-up treatment or take part in an aftercare program so that their overall wellness can be overseen and so can receive the support needed in their rehabilitation process as much as possible.
