Some people in need of alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Golden Valley, North Dakota may may decide on a residential short-term drug and alcohol rehab program that demands a stay of as little as a month. This may be an appropriate rehab possibility for clients who have personal or work responsibilities, and only need a short but intensive course of rehab. In addition to these circumstances, persons with only a short history of drug abuse may find that this may be a suitable choice while someone who has a more extensive and serious history of alcohol and drug abuse may need a more extensive time in treatment. If a potential client evidently has an extensive background of alcohol and drug abuse and chooses a residential short-term treatment program of 30 days or less, it is often suggested that the person follow up this treatment with regular follow-up care or move to an aftercare program so that their sobriety can be monitored and so they can be supported in their rehab process as much as possible.
