[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 456594, member: 1514"] Keista, I agree with you that most addicts have underlying problems that they are medicating. There may be a few out there that dont. I dont know...there is always the one or two percent who go against the norm. However, if someone point blank says "I will only go into this place for my 30 days and then drink/use when I get out no matter what" I dont know if I would put much stock in thinking the rehab is going to help them in 30 days. They are probably going to be very resistant for those first 30 days! I really think rehab needs to be much longer. It takes much longer to change this sort of problem. After all, it takes at least 3 weeks to change any sort of habit, even biting your nails, an addiction must take much longer because it involves so many more layers. [/QUOTE]
