Some people take part in a residential short-term alcohol and drug treatment center which requires a stay of 30 days or less. This treatment option is sometimes suitable for individuals in Mountain View who have familial or other obligations, and only need a short but intensive course of rehab. Persons in Mountain View with only a brief history of drug misuse may also find this to be an appropriate option. Somebody in Mountain View who has a more extensive and serious case of abuse and drug or alcohol addiction may need a more intensive course of rehabilitation. If someone does have an extensive history of abuse and makes the decision to select a residential short-term treatment option of 30 days or less, it is often recommended that they receive standard follow-up treatment or take advantage of an aftercare program where their progress can be monitored in their rehabilitation process whenever feasible.
