Program length is individualized - some people need longer stays. Ask each facility how they decide length of stay and what aftercare they provide.

Is 30 days enough for rehab?
It depends on the person and the substance. A short-term program can be an effective start, particularly when followed by outpatient care and support, but some people benefit from longer treatment. A clinical assessment can help determine the right length.
How do I know if a treatment center is right for me?
Call the facility and ask about the level of care, the substances they treat, whether they accept your insurance, and how soon you can start. A licensed clinician can assess which level of care fits your situation. If you need help finding options, call the helpline on this page - it is free and confidential.
