How Long Will It Take Me To Get Sober?
How long will it take me to get sober? That is a question that many people ask themselves when trying to figure out how long their sobriety journey will last. Well, no one answer can apply to everyone. It depends on how much alcohol or drugs you use and how often. There’s also how quickly your body metabolizes the substances and how well your body handles withdrawal symptoms. However, we do know some common patterns in terms of how long someone may need treatment for drug addiction or alcoholism:
A person who drinks heavily but not daily may take up to two weeks to detox from the alcohol (or other substance).
A person who has been drinking heavily every day for years may require several months of therapy before they feel ready to stop drinking. This is because they are likely to have developed a dependency on the substance, which means that their body may require extensive therapy or even medical treatment before it can return to normal function without alcohol in its system.
It is important to remember that everyone’s experience with addiction and recovery will be different, so it is impossible to give a definitive answer as to how long it will take someone to get sober.
