Some people looking into drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Marcus, Washington may choose to take part in a residential short-term drug treatment program that only calls for a stay of as little as a month. This might be a suitable treatment possibility for clients that have personal or office obligations, and only need a brief but somewhat intensive time in rehabilitation. In addition, persons that have only a short background of drug abuse may find this to be a valid choice whereas a person who has a more significant and serious history of substance abuse may be in need of a more extensive time spent in treatment. If a potential client does have a more serious background of substance abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term treatment option of as little as 4 weeks, it is typically required that the person receive standard follow-up treatment or move to an aftercare program so that their progress can be overseen and so they can be supported in their rehab process as often as feasible.
