Do you know how a rehab center works? What amount of time is actually spent on getting all of the drugs out of his system?

He was probably hospitalized for a minimum of three days to make sure he didn't suffer too badly from the initial withdrawal and to monitor his vitals and watch out for seizures.

The rest of the stay is usually a 12-step kind of program with a lot of group meetings and homework to help understand the scope of the addiction.

Many rehabs have dorm style rooms (usually two clients share a room) and community meals.
