Yes. Inpatient 28 day programs as part of a 12 month long continuing care program yield 87% success rates. 90 day programs can increase the odds of achieving long-term recovery as the more days a client remains connected to an inpatient program the greater the odds of their success. A 19 year old college student who got caught smoking marijuana or drinking beer on an surprise week day dorm visit may not always require 3 months of inpatient followed by a sober living and outpatient program and then 8 months of working with a therapist weekly and a psychiatrist monthly, and of course 3-5 weekly if not daily 12-step meetings. But consider the valuable expressions, 10 miles into the jungle 10 miles out. Another useful expression regarding answering the question does rehab work is ‘you get what you pay for.’ This doesn’t mean your wife who took pain pills for one week longer than the doctor originally prescribed, or your son who took your pain pills with some friends needs a $60K one month program. This also does not mean that your uncle you has been living on the streets for the last five years would not do tremendously at the Salvation Army or Goodwill state rehab. This means that each person needs to respect the staff and program they attend or the results will not be long-term recovery. When the family picks out the program based on their needs and feelings this also reduces the chances of rehab working. An example would be, ‘we want to visit them, so we’re going with the hospital program that’s only 20 minutes away’, ‘I don’t want them to be upset, so we are going with what they want to do, which is seeing this doctor they’ve been working with, surely he would suggest rehab if they needed it, right, after they are a doctor?” “They just want to detoxify for a few days, isn’t that rehab?” “They say it will be a waste of money to stop paying their bills, telling them what they want to hear, and so forth because they don’t want rehab.
