Many individuals looking into drug and alcohol treatment in South Wales may opt for a residential short-term alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which only demands a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This option could be be a reasonable treatment possibility for persons who have personal or office responsibilities, and only need a short but somewhat intensive course of rehabilitation. In addition, people with a very brief history of alcohol and drug abuse may find that this may be an appropriate selection while someone struggling with a more extensive and serious case of alcohol and drug abuse may need an a much more significant and extensive course of rehab. If an individual does have a more serious background of alcohol and drug abuse and chooses a residential short-term treatment facility of 30 days or less, it is often recommended that the person receive regular follow-up care or move to an aftercare program in which their sobriety can be overseen and so they can be supported in their rehabilitation process as much as possible.
