Is 30 days really enough?

    Our son's insurance only covered a month at first, and the counselor told us length depends on medical need. That confused me because I always pictured one set program. For anyone who's been through it, how do stays get extended, and what happens when you leave? Open to recommendations for inpatient rehabs in New York.

    I used to think rehab always meant a fixed 30-day stay until my neighbor's son went through the process. His treatment team reviewed his progress regularly and requested additional coverage when they felt more time was needed. The insurance company had to approve the extension, so keeping in touch with the counselor helped. After discharge, he continued with outpatient therapy and support meetings rather than going straight back to his old routine. For NY options, you could check gambling rehab near me outpatient programs and ask about their programs and aftercare arrangements.
