Alcohol & Drug Addiction Treatment

Drug rehab for celebrities has been a hot topic as of recent in the news. Look at all these facilities that are structuring their programs to fit the needs of VIPs or celebrities. Though a very profitable business, the results in terms of success are very low. All you have to do is look at people like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Amy Winehouse to see the revolving door at these residential drug rehabs. These exclusive drug rehab centers promote their lavish amenities, organic food, yoga classes, massage therapy, and Egyptian cotton sheets to lure their next patient into their treatment center. Many times the rehab program will even promote that various celebrities have been to their program but of course due to confidentiality reasons will not release names.

Certainly my intention is not for a person to avoid enrollling in a program which will be both comfortable and private, but at the same time it is important to remember the reason the individual is entering rehab in the first place. You are not going to rehab to learn how to ride horses or rock climb; you are going to get off drugs and alcohol and re-learn how to live life without these things, and so it is of vital importance that the program—not just the amenities—are effective.
