seperated shoulder

My friend just last night seperated his shoulder, ac joint, while excerising at a gym – equipment failure.
What will be the medical plan? He was told to contact his ortho surgeon. Does this require surgery? I know a lot of PT will be necessary.
How long for recovery, ie strength,able to resume workouts, painfree?

    May PT

    : Depends on the grade of the tear. If grade III or IV would probably require surgery. If not, he may be lifting in about 2-3 months. Hopefully he will get some PT for guidance with activity.
