Many people looking into alcohol and drug treatment in Mesa, Arizona may choose to take part in a residential short-term drug rehabilitation program that requires a stay of as little as a month. This may be a reasonable treatment option for clients that have familial or work commitments, and only need a brief but somewhat intensive time in rehab. Furthermore, individuals that have only a short background of alcohol and drug abuse may find this to be a valid option while an individual who has a more significant and critical case of abuse and addiction may very definitely require an a much more significant and extensive time in rehab. If someone does have a more serious background of substance abuse and chooses a residential short-term treatment program of 30 days or less, it is often required that they receive typical follow-up treatment or move to an aftercare facility in which their sobriety can be supervised closely and so they can be supported in their rehabilitation process in every way possible.
