It’s the Program in Drug Rehab, not the Building!(via Worldwide Drug Addiction News)

If a nice facility was really a critical point in the success in drug rehab, how come the Hilton or the Marriott are not advertising for drug rehab clients?  Drug rehab is about changing yourself and your life.  If getting spoiled and pampered in a beautiful stting had anything to do with sobriety, why is there any drug addiction at all in Hollywood?  The rich and famous have no problems at all with addiction.  They have such beautiful homes they get "cured" while they sleep ….. right?

If the building is clean and has the facilities to teach, work out, eat and sleep, that is pretty much all you need.  If you are paying for your drug rehab treatment you hve the "right" to be as picky as you want I guess, but if your family is paying for you, you might want to consider being a little more reasonable.  Or is it a case of you really do not care how much money your family pays out for you? Be picky about the program.  Be picky about how they treat you.  But ease up on looking for the all-inclusive resort feel at a moderate price.  Yes rehab is not cheap.  But spending a lot of money to stay in a fancy building will do nothing to teach you the skills you need to cope with stress and addiction in your life.  It just proves you are willing to waste other people's money.
