Depends: Therapy should be directed at rehabilitating deficits, not at working on "everything". If there is weakness or sensory loss, or incoordination, then they are the targets. Speech rehab, occupational therapy, emotional counseling, and various medications are all often used in combination, depending on the need, which may last for many months depending on stroke severity and continued progress.
