Some men and women in need of drug and alcohol rehab in Boulder Creek, California may may decide on an inpatient short-term drug rehab facility which requires a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may be an appropriate rehab choice for individuals who have familial or job responsibilities, and may need a short but somewhat intensive time in rehab. In addition to these circumstances, people that have a very brief background of drug abuse might find that this may be a suitable option while someone with a more extensive and severe case of substance abuse might be in need of an a much more significant and in depth time in treatment. If someone evidently has a more serious background of drug and alcohol abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term rehabilitation option of 30 days or less, it is often required that the client follow up this treatment with regular follow-up care or move to an aftercare program where their progress can be supervised closely and so they can be supported in their rehabilitation process as much as possible.
