Some people in need of alcohol and drug treatment in Hopkins may may decide on a residential short-term alcohol and drug treatment program which requires a stay of as little as a month. This may be a suitable rehab option for clients who have family or office obligations, and simply need a brief but intensive time in rehab. In addition to these circumstances, people that have only a short background of drug addiction may find that this may be a suitable option while a potential clients who has a more significant and critical history of substance abuse may very definitely be in need of an a much more significant and intensive course of rehab. If someone does have an extensive history of drug and alcohol abuse and chooses a residential short-term rehab option of 30 days or less, it is often required that they follow up this treatment with regular follow-up treatment or move to an aftercare program in which their progress can be supervised closely and so can receive the support needed in their rehabilitation process in every way possible.
