Dear Kishan, There are many varieties of Depressive Disorder. Each one needs different length of treatment. When it co occurs along with substance abuse, both need to be treated simultaneously. Again, depending on the substance and your motivation, the length of treatment varies. Come online text or audio with all the details.
