    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.

    They tried to make me go to rehab
    I said no, no, no.
    Yes I been black, but when I come back
    You wont know, know, know.

    I ain’t got the time
    And if my daddy thinks im fine
    He’s tried to make me go to rehab
    I wont go, go, go.

    I’d rather be at home with ray
    I ain’t got 70 days
    Cos there’s nothing, nothing you can teach me
    That I can’t learn from Mr. Hathaway

    Didn’t get a lot in class
    But I know it don’t come in a shot glass

    They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
    I said no, no, no
    Yes I been black, but when I come back
    You wont know, know, know.

    I aint got the time,
    And if my Daddy thinks im fine,
    He’s tried to make me go to rehab,
    I wont go, go, go.

    The man said, why you think you here?
    I said, I got no idea
    Im gonna, im gonna loose my baby
    So I always keep a bottle near

    Said, I just think you’re depressed
    Kiss me, yeah baby
    And go rest

    I’m tryin to make me go to rehab
    I said no, no, no
    Yes I been black, but when I come back
    You wont know, know, know

    I don’t ever wanna drink again
    I just, ooo, I just need a friend
    Im not gonna spend 10 weeks
    Have everyone think im on the mend

    It’s not just my pride
    It’s just til these tears have dried

    They’re tryin to make me go to rehab
    I said no, no, no
    Yes I been black, but when I come back,
    You wont know, know, know

    I aint got the time,
    And if my daddy thinks im fine
    He’s trying to make me go to rehab
    I wont go, go, go.

    It totally depends on the place and the program. It can be anywhere from 30-90 days. But don’t assume that means he has recovered. Addiction is a life long recovery and unfortunately, relapses are common occurrences.

    It differs for everyone, most clinics offer 21 day and 30 day detox, or if he’s been mainlining heroin or whisky for years they have 90 day programs.
