Cadesmom, I was really moved by the answer you gave about your best every xmas present. Mine was my daughter going into a re-hab and getting sober. But a lot of people try to close them down saying that only, something like 5% are helped. Well even one person like you, or my daughter, is worth keeping them open. What do other's think.

It is true that only about 90% of the people that get clean stay clean. A person has to want to be clean or all the rehab in the world would not work..Re hab is a great thing to have. It lets you meet people who are a LOT worse off than you. It's good to be around people who understand what you are going through and that you can't just "snap out of it". It's a hard program for a purpose...but again if you don't want to quit, you won't. If it were's for the rehabs thou where would those 10% or so be today..living on the street or DEAD....

Yes i believe that even one person helped is worth them staying open, i have heard of retreats for people to get time away from life and listen and be with nature, i believe these places help lots of people even in small ways like listening to their own consciousnesses. I will never understand the true value of a place like a re hab as i haven't been to one but people and families who have been helped should be at the foremost of our minds when we speak out about shutting down valuable centres.

i won't be able to even take Rev.Sharpten's place heavily. there is this form of double trouble-free related to racial and/or offensive comments. only look on the lyrics in many if no longer maximum rap songs. The "N" word is used with impunity interior the black community yet while pronounced by utilising the different cultures all hell breaks lose. i do no longer accept as true with Imus's fact, i think of it substitute right into a damaging fact however the exposure surrounding it extremely is rediculous. He apologized so Sharpten and all his cronies could drop the venture. to boot, does everyone extremely supply a **** what the two Sharpten or Imus ought to assert?

The first thing I would like to say is that I totally approve of re-hab. However, there is nothing like a 12-step program. I am in Overeater's Anonymous for my eating disorder (binge-eating disorder). It works the same as Alcoholics Anonymose except its for food addiciton. So re-hab is a saviour, but 12-step programs are a life style. Once an Alcoholic always and alcoholic. Once a compulisive overeater...

They are worth it.My sister was in one for 90 days and now has over a year clean from heroin.Even if a person relapse which does happen,they still have the tools to work with from rehab to clean up again.I really believe in rehab even for people who don`t want to be there,they still are getting the message.I would also like to say just because they finished rehab doesn`t mean they have been cured,it`s always there. .It`s one day at a time after that for life.

Yes! It's worth it if it helps even a small percentage of the people who go there. The problem with rehab centers is that not everyone even wants to be there! If they have a bad attitude or don't really want to stop, then they will continue the behavior as soon as they leave. They are not going to help everyone! But for those that they can help, it is most definitely worth it!!!

Absolutely! A rehab center saved my life and gave me a chance to have this year with my family. It's not perfect, but it's sober and real.

rehabs are definitely worth the hassle, even if its only 5% then its still something. its so much better to tackle your problem in rehab than to than on your own.

Yes I think so! It is important to be in a group type of supportive atmosphere where you are able to see how others are handling (or not handling) their addictions and treatments.
