[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743235, member: 23371"] Like I said Copa, I don't know what's available in your area. They say they have 3 certified addiction centers, that's great. It's all a question of what services are provided and whether those meets the person's needs. My point I guess is that rehab is a broad term. People recovering from a stroke go to a rehab center. Addicts who have been clean for years still do "rehab counseling" in the form of NA meetings. But I think that what yesterday's active addict needs, in today's treatment model anyway, is a locked door facility with 24/7 addiction counselors and hours of individual and group therapy. That doesn't include transitional housing, job training or placement, time for job searching, educational assessments and so forth. Those may be available in the same location. I'm suggesting inpatient and outpatient services are often available nearby. But what I'm suggesting for yesterday's addict is inpatient. [/QUOTE]
