Getting sober being sober works for individuals who say dear god please help me that usually takes years of using and misery. Advertising a beautiful place lush surroundings spa treatment and such will always come with a hefty price. A different approach taken toward sobriety. I've known Synanon since 1962 and all derivatives since including TC, social and others. Yourself, family and friends it is a fact if your sick and fed up it dose not take $100.000 $80,000 $20,000 or $5,000 detoxing on a couch with some asprin sick outside a hospital setting perhaps sounds harsh however it can and has been done thousands of times. Going to AA, get a sponsor, do the 12 steps do meeting's, fellowship don't steal, lie, cheat. All these different tactics further the addict from last use. If life is awful all it takes is willingness and persistence. Staying away from users changing ones life. It's a very simple process for complicated soul's therefore relapse is part of growing to a goal. Very, very few go first time to a AA mtg never use again it dose not take a small fortune in my humble opinion. Many good places abound go seek a Priest, Minister a Rabbi direction as a god or higher power is helpful and some places give sobriety with a religious background or overtones as in Los Angeles, Ca a Jewish 12 step program Beit T' Shuvah costing considerably less with better than average results 5 years plus of a addiction free life. Drugs, Gambling or Sex addiction. Compulsive and Obsessive behavior all the same. Best of luck finding a place or even a couch if you really want IT do IT !!!
