How Long Will a Person Have to Stay Inside a Drug Rehab for Addiction Treatment?

Question by cheyanne tw: How long will a person have to stay inside a drug rehab for addiction treatment?
I was just wondering how long it would take for a person to recover from substance addiction. I have a neighbor who has just gotten into an inpatient drug rehab program and I want to know when he’s likely to be back here again.

Answer by angelena e
The duration of the addiction treatment is likely to be dependent upon the needs of the person. It’s also dependent upon the length of time that the patient has been taking the substance. Your neighbor has to respond to the treatment positively so as to get out of rehab sooner. It takes a couple of months, and may even extend to a year or so.
