[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 732374, member: 1967"] Smittyboy, I am sorry that your experiences have been so bad. Just like anything else . . . there are good and bad rehabs and good and bad sober houses. This was particularly true in south Florida where there are many sober living facilities that have been closed due to fraud. My daughter was in several of those during her four years in Florida. However, I don't think it is fair to dismiss all rehabs and sober living places. I believe the last sober living program my daughter was in is the reason she just celebrated 2 years of sobriety. It is an excellent program. That said, there were many who had to leave because they were caught using. Also, my daughter is on medications for mental health issues and none of the five rehabs/sober living programs she went to refused to let her take her medications. There are some rehabs that are anti-medications so you have to check the philosophy before you send your loved one there. It has been said here many times that the addict/alcoholic has to want to change or it doesn't matter where they go. What good rehabs/sober living programs provide is the support and accountability to achieve sobriety. It is important to do due diligence when researching programs for your loved one. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
