Most of the (rich) kids I went to school with went to rehab though. But I have encountered a couple of them at meetings!
Hi Brooksie,,
I'd just like to comment that I'm a 55 year old woman, who lives near Pasadena, CA. My husband and I are not rich. Our insurance, Kaiser Permanente paid for a good portion of my De-Tox ( at Kaiser), and at the Women's Rehab I lived at for 1 month. My husband and son are both Recovering Alcoholics/Addicts who did not go through Rehab. 8 and 5 years respectfully. However you get to Sobriety .....
