For anyone battling with addiction, acknowledging that you need treatment is a crucial and courageous first step. When you don’t know what to expect, the equally vital next step of getting help might be just as intimidating (as when you’re picturing the worst-case scenario). When it comes to addiction treatment, one of the main concerns that many individuals have is how long it will take. All wounds heal with time, or so you have been told—but how much time do you have?
The solution is a little trickier than you may imagine. Depending on who you ask, the length of time you spend in inpatient treatment for addiction varies a lot. However, it should be based on your specific therapy needs since this strategy will help you achieve the greatest potential results for long-term recovery.
