How long do you have to be in a clinic to be rehabilitated?

Question by Goal Chaser :o): How long do you have to be in a clinic to be rehabilitated?
How long to be rehabilitated in a ‘betty ford’ clinic for alcoholics? My boyfriend, checked himself in 3 days ago, and says he detoxed! They at the clinic told me he was far from being ready! But they can’t hold him against his will! I just want to know how long I should expect someone to be in, as in an average? I know everyone’s different, but 3 days!!!!????? Please help!

it takes longer then just a few days =right now he is just sober
when he goes into withdrawal that is when you know it is really working and after that he should be okay
