Question by lourdes r: How long will it take my sister to finish an addiction treatment program?
We’ve been thinking of having my sister undergo an addiction treatment program, but we’re wondering how long it will take her to actually finish it. I know that there are some which last for over a month, and some are even shorter. Are there any ideas?

I know someone who was addicted to pain pills and went to one for 1 week and has been clean for over 2 years. He checked himself in and was ready to quit. I don’t think it matters how long a program is, if you aren’t ready to quit, you won’t.
