How long does a typical stay at a rehab mental hospital last?

[anjalisingh]

The length of a typical stay at a rehab mental hospital varies depending on the individual's condition, treatment needs, and progress. For acute mental health issues, stays usually range from a few days to two weeks. In cases involving severe depression, psychosis, or substance abuse, the stay might extend to 30 to 90 days or more. Some long-term rehabilitation programs can last several months, especially if intensive therapy or medication adjustment is needed. Discharge depends on the patient's stability, response to treatment, and readiness to continue care outside the facility through outpatient programs or community support. Every case is unique.
