Some people who will need alcohol and drug treatment in Ransomville, New York may opt for a residential short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which only requires a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This might be a reasonable treatment option for individuals that have personal or job obligations, and may need a quick but somewhat intensive time in rehab. In addition, persons with only a short history of drug and alcohol abuse may find that this may be a suitable option while a potential clients with a more extensive and serious history of substance abuse might be in need of a much more extensive time in rehab. If an individual does have an extensive background of abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term treatment program of as little as a month, it is often required that the client follow up this treatment with standard follow-up care or take part in an aftercare facility in which their progress can be supervised closely and so can receive the support needed in their rehab process in every way possible.
