Best answer:

Answer by older
the state i live in has a state hospital with a rehab center and it is free. call the “AA” they can tell you

Answer by raysny
Far too much for what you get.

You don’t mention what you “need” rehab for. If you are physically addicted to alcohol or some other drugs, you may need detox or medical attention, see a doctor.

Rehabs are basically a place to get away from the people you used with and the places where you used. They are indoctrination centers for AA/NA and have only a slightly better success rate than “free” AA/NA meetings.

“There is a high rate of recovery among alcoholics and addicts, treated and untreated. According to one estimate, heroin addicts break the habit in an average of 11 years. Another estimate is that at least 50% of alcoholics eventually free themselves although only 10% are ever treated. 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.

“What works? A summary of alcohol treatment research” in R. K. Hester & W.R. Miller (Eds.), Handbook of alcoholism treatment approaches: Effective alternatives:
http://www.behaviortherapy.com/whatworks.htm
(notice #37 in effectiveness is rehabs, #38 is Alcoholics Anonymous, out of the 48 treatment methods listed.)

I’m a veteran of 5 rehabs and many years of bouncing in and out of AA/NA. It wasn’t until I stopped trying to force myself to work an unworkable program, took responsibility for my addiction and my recovery that I was able to stay stopped.

There are many books on quitting, check your local library. One of the best is “Rational Recovery: The New Cure for Substance Addiction” by Jack Trimpey. Jim Christopher (founder of SOS) has several.

I found autobiographies helpful, no matter what kind of problems a person had, they got over them by not giving up.

There are support groups on the web:

SOS:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/sossaveourselves/

SMART:
http://www.smartrecovery.org/
http://smartrecovery.org/SMARTBoard/

LifeRing:
http://www.unhooked.com/index.htm
http://forums.delphiforums.com/lifering/start

RR (a method rather than a group):
http://www.rational.org/

Personally, I feel that all those groups are great for those who have
been through AA and have had it pounded into their heads that they NEED a group in order to quit. That’s nonsense, but AA has been very successful in getting people to believe that piece of misinformation.

Being around others for support can be a good thing, but ultimately, it
is up to the individual to use or not.
