You’re still within the US jurisdiction so you don’t have to give 21-day notice, just the normal domestic travel notice of 48-72hrs. in most places, if the stay is over a certain number of days.

None of the EU countries, that I know of, have something like rehabilitation, or at least not for foreigners. Canada is the only country I know of that allows people to go through a process to grant them entrance.
