14 days is nothing, BUT if she is serious about recovering her efforts will not stop after the 14 days. The place where she is probably has counselors that can recommend a next step to her, whether it be going to a halfway house as mentioned above, intensive outpatient where she comes home and goes to a day program, or they might talk her into going to a longer program. Once she sees that she can handle being in that kind of environment, she may be more likely to go on to a 28-day, 60-day, 90-day or even a year program. Rehab is just such a scary concept to most addicts (can ya blame them?), but once they see that they feel better once the withdrawals go away, sometimes they begin to think more clearly.

Either way, if she went in willfully, that is always a good sign. Good luck!
