Agreed. I transport "addicts" to rehab quite often, and from my experience the 90 day programs are NOT long enough. The in-house 6 month programs with another 6 months in transitional (monitored) living with work \ volunteering as a mandatory part ARE the ones that tend to work better. I drive 3 hours to NC to deliver those that have hit rock bottom and truly want to get better.

I have been to rehab (a 30 day program in 2009) and I drank the day I got out (that morning actually) and I had no remorse.

Over here on the right coast of the USA things may be different, but a one year program is what it seems to take to get the brain rewired to a life without a substance.

People need a purpose and sometimes it takes a LONG time for them to find it....
