Some individuals in need of alcohol and drug rehab in Hamburg may may decide on an inpatient short-term alcohol and drug treatment facility which only demands a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may perhaps be a reasonable rehabilitation choice for persons that have familial or office responsibilities, and only require a short but somewhat intensive course of treatment. In addition, persons with a very short background of drug and alcohol abuse might find that this may be a valid choice whereas an individual who has a more significant and serious history of drug and alcohol abuse may require a more in depth time in rehabilitation. If a potential client does have an extensive background of substance abuse and opts for a residential short-term treatment facility of as little as 4 weeks, it is very often recommended that they agree to regular follow-up care or take part in an aftercare facility where their sobriety can be supervised closely and so can receive the support needed in their rehabilitation process as often as feasible.
