How long do cocaine addicts usually stay in rehab?

Genevieve asked:

My brother’s cocaine addiction is getting really bad and my uncle was able to my brother to agree going to rehab. I know it’s good and all he’s going to get cleaned up but that means moving out of our cute little two room apartment and I’ll be moving in with my uncle until my brother is clean and out of rehab. So how long should he be in rehab if he snorts cocaine every two days for the past year and a half?
Sorry, I do have my priorities. I care about my brother a lot and a side from the drugs he’s a really amazing person. So I’m proud of him for checking into rehab on his own ’cause it shows he wants to get better but I have lived with him my whole life so excuse me for wanting him to get better as soon as possible! So I just wanted the approximate time he might spend in there. I’m trying to be patient as possible. I’ll be seeing him at least three times of month while he’s in rehab.

Is your primary concern your brother’s welfare or the fact that you will have to live with your uncle? It doesnt matter how long it takes for him to be in rehab as long as he is able to stay clean once he is out. Doesnt sound like you have your priorities straight.

As long as it takes.

the amount of drugs really doesn’ t make a difference – especially since he most likely did more than you know about. It depends on what he has to work out while he is there.

30-60 days is a good guess for rehab and then he will hopefully go from that to outpatient treatment.

Hey!!!! You seem like your more worried about your apartment than your brothers health. You should be more supportive towards you brother thats a really big step. Get yourself another roomate maybe a friend or something. Im not really sure how long your brother will be there it varys from person to person it depends on them.

Hey,
I’m not here to Answer!
I just wanna wish You good luck for your relationship wih your Brother, and I really hope that the Rehab center does the trick.

Your brother should be really glad to have a sister like you who does’nt Judge him, but rather, is concerned about his well-being.

Although I have no answer, i would like to guess… a couple of months. Hopefully alot less!!
Take care

Detox is only three days. Depending on the type of insurance you have it can vary from 30days to 2years depending on the treatment center. After detox the recommendation for after care is the rehab part. Yes two parts, and may not be at the same place.

You sound like all you are interested in is that you will be moving out of your cute little town room to live with your uncle
but you do not really care about your Brother is that correct??
Even it you say no, well that is what it sound like,
Now you see what cocaine have done to your Brother so I hope you keep away from to OK??? Don’t matter how long he
will be in there for just since he is clean when he comes out OK
