Many individuals looking into drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Litchfield, New Hampshire may choose to take part in a residential short-term drug treatment center which only only calls for a stay of 30 days or less. This might be a reasonable treatment possibility for people that have family or office commitments, and only require a short but somewhat intensive time in treatment. Furthermore, people that have only a short background of drug abuse may find that this may be a valid choice while a person with a more extensive and serious history of drug and alcohol abuse might require a more in depth time spent in rehabilitation. If someone does have a more serious background of drug and alcohol abuse and opts for a residential short-term rehab option of as little as 4 weeks, it is typically recommended that the person agree to regular follow-up care or take part in an aftercare program so that their sobriety can be monitored and so can receive the support needed in their rehab process as much as possible.
