This question would be best answered by a neurologist. Certainly, the length of time can vary depending on how severe the stroke has been, whether there are complications, and how healthy the person was before the stroke. Typically, certain tests need to be run to determine risk for future strokes, as well as to address the impact of this one. Many people will need to go to rehabilitation facilities following a stroke, but in other cases the effects may be mild or resolve, and that will not be necessary.
