Rehab and treatment
Twenty-five treatment centres, one that finally worked, and why.
Several guests here have been through more treatment centres than they can name in order. That is useful, because they can say what the difference was between the ones that did nothing and the one that held.
They cover detox, what the first week is really like, what to ask before you send someone, and how much of it comes down to what happens in the ninety days after you walk out.
