Some individuals choose to receive treatment in a residential short-term drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which calls for a stay of 30 days or less. This treatment option may be appropriate for men and women in Michigan City who have familial or work obligations, and only need a brief but intense course of rehab. Persons in Michigan City with only a short background of drug abuse may as well find this to be a suitable choice. An individual in Michigan City who has a more extensive and severe case of misuse and drug or alcohol addiction may require a much more substantial course of treatment. If a person does have an a more extensive background of abuse and makes the decision to select a residential short-term treatment option of 30 days or less, it is often recommended that they acquire standard follow-up support or take part in an aftercare program where their progress can be monitored in their rehabilitation process in every way possible.
