ALMOST -- since I had the same door switch problem, start with easy -- do your interior (dome) lights come on when you open your driver's door? What about passenger door?
If the interior dome lights don't work when you open your driver's door, your power window circuit will remain active and draw enough current to kill your battery after a week. SO, if you find this to be the case, start by cleaning/fixing the door switch (or try opening the passenger door, if it still causes the interior lights to illuminate, before putting your car to bed) and see if this fixes the problem first.
Dirty door switches seem to be a common problem with these cars -- best to start with a potential shortcut here, as if I recall, the traditional diagnostic technique outlined above won't clearly point to this being the problem. Of course, if your interior dome lights work fine and your power windows stop working after the driver's door is opened, this isn't your problem.
