Addiction to alcohol or drugs is a disease, and while there is no cure for it, there are programs that can help chemically dependent people control their addictions. Rehab offers an in-depth, personal evaluation of the best treatment centers in the country based on the author's visit to each one. Entries describe the kind of treatment available, the physical facilities, each center's philosophy, the admissions policy, cost, types of insurance accepted, staff qualifications, special programs for women, family programs, and outpatient follow-up. A recovering alcoholic himself, the author knew exactly what to look for during his visits, which questions to ask, how to evaluate what he saw and heard. Rehab is the only reliable, personally resesarched guide to the finest and most appropriate rehabilitation centers in the country. Rehab offers an objective, critical, and comprehensive analysis of what goes on in rehabilitation facilities across the US.
