My daughter told us in Marina Village parking lot that she is heroin addict
I wish her all the best. But people should have an accurate view of rehab- a process that has a very low rate of success even after months of treatment costing $50,000 or more. When all patients entering treatment are counted, including the ones kicked out of treatment by the treatment programs prior to completion, one-year sobriety rates are on the order of 10% for opioid dependence. In other words, people will spend over half a million dollars, usually not covered by insurance, for each patient who stays clean for a year. And for every ten moms who take out loans and invest their hopes, nine will know heartbreak within the next year. Hope is seductive... and it covers up the fact that traditional residential treatment is failing addicts in a big way. It is time to get serious about medicated treatment options, which make for less-pretty stories, but that have higher odds of keeping our kids alive.— December 10, 2014 1:54 p.m.
