Actually, length of stay for detox and stabilization depends on a number of factors. If you are indigent and picked up by the police, you might find yourself in a three day detox/stabilization and then dumped back out on the street. If you have decent insurance and you are on heroin, you might end up in a 30-day detox/stabilization/therapy program with outpatient followups. Perhaps someday Herring will share his experiences in getting his alcohol abuse under a modicum of control. |

I suspect it's from a doctoral thesis presented by a PHD wanna be. |

In many, if not most cases they are in denial that they even have a problem, particularly with alcoholism. The booze really screws up their ability to think in any rational way. Entering a treatment center for detox, rehab and therapy is voluntary, except in very difficult to obtain court ordered cases. |

How many people have "decent" insurance and who are on Heroin? Perhaps someday Herring will share his experiences in getting his alcohol abuse under a modicum of control. Maybe you can tell us about all of your fiscal issues someday. You know, the ones where you had to be sued by the federal, state and local governments to pay your fair share. |
