Most rehabs are AA based, a sort of crash course (or brainwashing, if you prefer). AA members love to joke about how the new members spent thousands of dollars just to be told to go to free meetings.

AA has about a 5% success rate; don’t believe a rehab that claims high success rates. (They love returning customers.)

“One recent study found that 80% of all alcoholics who recover for a year or more do so on their own, some after being unsuccessfully treated. When a group of these self-treated alcoholics was interviewed, 57% said they simply decided that alcohol was bad for them. Twenty-nine percent said health problems, frightening experiences, accidents, or blackouts persuaded them to quit. Others used such phrases as “Things were building up” or “I was sick and tired of it.” Support from a husband or wife was important in sustaining the resolution.”
Treatment of Drug Abuse and Addiction — Part III, The Harvard Mental Health Letter, October 1995.

(This seems average)
“Depending on the type of program and accommodation you require, the costs for a 28 days rehab stay at our centers usually range from $ 13,700 to $ 31,700. Both, cheaper and more expensive rehab options are offered depending on your needs and length of treatment. In some cases, we can offer you quality treatment options starting from as low as $ 2,000.” http://www.choosehelp.com/faq/how-much-will-it-cost

“In the March 1 complaint, a copy of which you’ll find below, Beau Monde alleges that Love, 42, paid $ 10,000 shortly after entering the facility in August 2005, but still owes it $ 181,286.
The way I figure, it cost $ 191,286 for 86 days of rehab. Or, $ 2,224 per day. That includes spa fees, of course.”

Answer by mcdannells
Then after you call the help line the fist lady put in there, get a hold of a mental health place and get her into profetional mental health to find out why she feels she has to self medicate in the first place.
Or maybe they do that in dug rehab places??
She could more then likely get on the state medical who would pay to help her? This is what it is there for.
Good luck

Question by Sally: NEED HELP! How do I get my sister into Rehab??? 5150?
My sister is a meth addict and is literally deterioating by the second. I need help because I am afraid Im going to loose my little sister. Shes 26 years old and has been doing Meth everyday. She thinks theres nothing wrong with her. Shes skin and bone. My family is literally in pain over this because its like our hands are bound and we cant do anything. She is now talking to herself…threatening all of this that we’re plotting against her or that the government is hiding cameras all around the city looking for her…shes talking crazy and she says she hears voices thats making her do things. She has a son that she will literally take with her on her “joy rides”. We’ve got the Father involved to keep her son away from her and terminate custody until she gets help. She still wont. How in California can I save my sister??? She wont voluntarily help herself. I’m not trying to bury my sister…I’ve tried calling courts, rehab centers…no one can give me a straight answer…I’ve heard of the Marchman Act…but is that available in Los Angeles County??? Please someone help or guide me in the right direction…this DRUG is literally killing my sister.

Best answer:

Answer by Bill
I would try calling AL-ANON. They should surely be able to give you some advice. Just Google ” AL-ANON Los Angeles” and you’ll find 3 different phone numbers for LA.
Everything I read about the Marchman Act suggests that it applies only to Florida. Sorry.

Question by SHELTIELUVER: For those who watch A&E’s “Intervention”, can you answer a question?
I saw the preview’s for tonight’s episode and they say “Something that’s never happened on Intervention happens in an unforgettable episode” and they show someone running and the cops and some girl saying “This is intervention.” Do you know what happens or what do you think happened? I’m dying to know because I really like the show. Do you think someone OD’s or someone gets shot or something? Or maybe the police just bust someone before the intervention. These people on the show are awfully lucky, they do drugs in the cars, hang out in neighborhoods they clearly don’t belong in, steal from people, etc… which are all felonies. Also, by now, don’t you think every addict knows they are on “Intervention” when they sign up and have this crew following their every move?

Best answer:

Answer by denise s
thanks for the reminder that it’s on tonight. sounds like a pretty good episode. i have no clue what could happen- one of your guesses is probably right. the people who agree to be on “a documentary about addiction” must not know about the show, but with its widespread popularity i bet there are going to be some folks that catch on pretty quick. then again, think of all the people we’ve seen on the show- i haven’t seen any of them,except maybe the food addicts, watching tv. fortunately, for US that is, addiction is such a huge problem, there will always be plenty of people with serious drug problems that don’t have cable- or even a tv, to be on the show. from experience, i can tell you that being an addict is a full-time job. everything you do revolves around doing drugs, looking for drugs, and finding a way to pay for your drugs. they probably aren’t watching A&E, thank god.
14 more hours until we find out what they mean by “unforgettable”!!
enjoy!
