How long does rehab take?
Residential programs commonly run 30 to 90 days, and outpatient treatment often continues for several months after.
Do I need detox before rehab?
If you are physically dependent on alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines, medical detox usually comes first. Many Albany programs can arrange detox or admit you straight after it.
