Some men and women who will need drug and alcohol rehab in Huntingdon Valley may may decide on an inpatient short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that only calls for a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may be an appropriate rehabilitation option for individuals who have familial or office responsibilities, and only need a brief but somewhat intensive course of treatment. Moreover, individuals with only a brief background of drug and alcohol abuse may find that this may be an appropriate option while an individual with a more extensive and severe case of substance abuse may very definitely need a more extensive time in treatment. If a potential client does have an extensive background of drug and alcohol abuse and opts for a residential short-term treatment option of as little as a month, it is very often recommended that the individual follow up this treatment with regular follow-up care or take part in an aftercare program so that their progress can be supervised closely and so they can be supported in their rehab process as much as feasible.
