Some people take part in a residential short-term drug rehab center which requires a stay of 30 days or less. This rehab option may be suitable for people in Damascus who have family or work obligations, and only require a brief but intensive stint in rehabilitation. Persons in Damascus with only a short history of drug misuse may as well find this to be an appropriate choice. Someone in Damascus who has a significant and severe case of misuse and addiction may need a more extensive course of rehabilitation. If somebody does have an a more extensive background of abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term treatment option of 30 days or less, it is often encouraged that they acquire standard follow-up treatment or take advantage of an aftercare program so that their progress can be monitored in their rehab process in every way possible.
