Is 30 days enough?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Some people cycle through more than one level of care, and that is the intended design rather than a failure. Find out whether the program can be extended before you are in it.
What should I bring to treatment?
The paperwork, the medication in its labeled containers, and about a week of ordinary clothes. Chargers, razors and anything with a cord are often held and signed out when needed rather than kept in the room. Ask what the phone rule is in the first week specifically, not in general.
