What is the average length of stay in the withdrawal managment unit?
It is important to note that the admission to the withdrawal managment unit is short term. It is a common misconception that withdrawal managment is the same thing as residential treatment which is three or more weeks. However, the average length of stay varies between 3-5 days. Each person is assessed on an indiviual basis taking into consideration such factors as how much has been consumed/used, the duration of use, and combinations of substances.
