Question by SHELTIELUVER: Have you or someone you’re close to been to a residental drug rehab that they’d recommend?
I really need to get into a place but I have no insurance and I’m not working. My parents are willing to help but can only afford around $ 10,000 at the most for a 30 day program. I want to go somewhere very reputable with a caring staff and that is a nice place (it doesn’t have to be a luxury place, just somewhere clean and in a relaxing environment). I wanted to go somewhere that had a gym so I could get back into shape because I think that you need to learn to take care of your mind, spirit, and body in recovery. I’ve asked this question several times before and people were really mean so don’t bother answering if you can’t say anything helpful. I am very serious about getting better and haven’t used anything in over a week already!

Someone I know has a problem and his wife wants him to go to a rehab-like place. He claims it won’t help him because he falls off the wagon more like monthly and doesn’t drink daily. Is that ridiculous or realistic?
He probably drinks more than once a month, but it’s catastrophic every month or two–wrecking cars, spending all the family’s $ , not coming home at all, etc.
