11/29
I had the misfortune to do the 28 (actually, they tell you it's 31 full days - you know 2 days for travel). There "salesman" michael really does an amazing sales pitch on the phone - if you are "under the influence" when you call (and you must be to agree to their pricing and philosophy), by the end of several calls you are convinced that you couldn't possibly get sober without attending. Oh, by the way - michael assures you that you, and only you, are going to get a deal on the price if you sign up immediately (wow - only $50,000 instead of $62,000). Of couse you don't know until you get there and you are going through detox, that the doctor that you are going to see and give you absurd blood tests will cost you more ("just sign the papers now - we know that you are out of it - you can read them later").
Well, i did the whold stay - you do see many therapists - among them you have a drug conselor - i got a guy named Ross who was somehow able to advise me, because at 35 he had been in rehabs 8 times (i guess the last time was a charm).
