How it works
The City Hospital page: the ward row with its regen figures, and the Rehab row123
1The ward row shows your health state. Open it to Check in when you are below 100 health.
2The two figures are your health gained every 10 minutes outside the ward and in it.
3The Rehab row shows your addictions and the next program. Open it to check in to rehab. It needs at least one addiction.

At full health the ward has nothing to do, so these rows only show their status. Open a row to check in or out.

How fast does health come back?

Health ticks up every 10 minutes, up to 100.

  • You gain 5 health a tick, plus 0.01 for each Health level. At Health level 100 that is 6 a tick.
  • In the ward you gain double.
  • Meth lowers your health cap while its effect lasts.
  • Withdrawal from Heroin or Meth drains health every hour. If the drain matches your regen, you do not recover. The page then reads Not recovering.
How does the ward work?
  • You can check in whenever your health is below 100, if you are not in rehab.
  • A stay you chose ends by itself at 100 health. You can check out earlier.
  • While you are in the ward, crimes, GTA, heists, jobs, travel, attacks, the gym and the drug market are closed.
  • An overdose puts you in the ward for a set time. You cannot check out until it ends.
How does rehab work?

Rehab runs six 10-minute programs every hour, one for each drug.

  • Cannabis runs at :00, MDMA at :10, LSD at :20, Heroin at :30, Cocaine at :40 and Meth at :50.
  • A program lowers that drug's addiction the moment it starts, if you are checked in. Check in before the slot opens.
  • Each program removes 40% of that drug's addiction per dose.
  • You cannot be in rehab and the ward at once.
  • You leave rehab by yourself when no addictions remain. You can also check out earlier.
  • After leaving rehab you cannot use drugs for 6 hours.
How much does one program remove?
DrugSlotRemoved
Cannabis:00–:101.6
MDMA:10–:204
LSD:20–:302.4
Heroin:30–:408.8
Cocaine:40–:505.6
Meth:50–:6010
Addiction is scored from 0 to 100. Without rehab it falls by 0.75 to 1.5 an hour.
Tips
  • Check into rehab just before the slot for your worst drug.
  • A slot for a drug you are clean of removes nothing.
  • Withdrawal starts at addiction level 17, 2 hours after your last dose.
