Rehab Centers Require Longer Stays
Rehab Centers require longer stays in residential addition treatment centers to help reduce the high rate of relapse. Most rehab centers offer a standard 30 day program which includes a short period of detoxification. This has been the standard since the 1970's when the US Air Force established the 30 day model so airmen could return to duty without being reassigned. The was no medical research to back-up the 30 day stay but it caught on and across the country cookie cutter programs were established.
