Many people in need of alcohol and drug rehab in Plains, TX. may opt for a residential short-term alcohol and drug rehab program which only calls for a stay of 30 days or less. This may be a reasonable rehab option for persons that have personal or work obligations, and simply require a brief but somewhat intensive time in rehabilitation. Moreover, people that have only a short history of drug addiction might find that this may be an appropriate selection while a person with a more extensive and serious case of abuse and addiction may require a more extensive time in treatment. If an individual does have a more serious history of substance abuse and decides to choose a residential short-term treatment program of 30 days or less, it is very often suggested that the client follow up this treatment with standard follow-up treatment or move to an aftercare facility so that their progress can be supervised closely and so they can be supported in their rehabilitation process as often as feasible.
