Some individuals who will need drug rehabilitation in Pala, California may opt for a residential short-term drug rehab program which only demands a stay of as little as 4 weeks. This may be an appropriate treatment possibility for persons who have family or job obligations, and only require a brief but somewhat intensive time in rehabilitation. Furthermore, persons that have only a brief history of alcohol and drug abuse might find that this may be an appropriate choice while a person with a more extensive and serious history of substance abuse may be in need of a more intensive time spent in rehab. If somebody does have an extensive background of abuse and decides on a residential short-term rehab program of as little as 4 weeks, it is very often required that they agree to regular follow-up care or take part in an aftercare program in which their sobriety can be monitored and so they can be supported in their rehabilitation process as much as possible.
