[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 584088, member: 15796"] Yes, every place is different. The place in Atlanta that my difficult child found was 125 per week and that did not include anything. She was expected to find a job right away and attend meetings when she wasn't working. There was always a lot of meetings and they did drug test. The place was cheap and no Ritz Carlton, but it was a sober, supportive environment for those who wanted a sober life. I would not recommend this place to anyone that is being forced to go through treatment, however. There was nothing holding them there and I don't think there was supervision during the day. The place would have worked just fine if it was truly what my difficult child wanted. I think she wanted to strike a deal to see her boyfriend in jail, didn't expect to stay in treatment as long as she did, and left right before she reached 30 days. My brother attended rehab and then lived in a halfway house for at least two years before moving on his own. All his own decision and he is still clean and sober today. Won't even touch a drink, pot, anything. I couldn't be more proud of him but he has really cut off contact from the rest of the family and I don't talk to him very often... :( I honestly feel sober living offers the best chance of staying sober after rehab...
