An opinion about drug rehab that's worth reading?

People are generally not afraid to tell you what they think, and what to do, when you've got a problem.

So imagine someone you know, someone you love is abusing drugs or alcohol. The opinions will rain down upon you thicker than hail. And if that's where you are my friend, God bless you. To find something helpful among all the help being offered can be as hard as finding a pair of glasses you set down in an unfamiliar spot.

If you're looking for drug rehab in Georgia, you need someone to help you find help. An outside observer, not some slick talking sales rep from a drug treatment center hawking his services like a steroid head selling fitness club memberships.

You see, there are more bad choices than good ones. Most drug rehab programs are ineffective. Patients stand a 1 in 7 chance of kicking their addiction for good, even after being treated at the most expensive drug treatment centers.

Price in fact is not a good index of success. With drug rehab you don't necessarily get what you pay for. One of the least expensive programs we refer people to is also the most effective, with 3 to 5 times the success rate of other rehab centers.

You won't hear about it from friends or from commercials produced by award winning ad agencies that flood the airwaves and drive families like lemmings into useless programs. You'll only hear about it from a professional referral service whose sole interest is you, your family and most of all your loved one who might now be held captive to drug addiction, but who we know can be helped.

Yes, this is an opinion. But one from an expert with a single purpose. To help you find help.
