My rehab experience drove me up the wall for similar reasons. (Although I was inpatient, so I was really trapped!). But I made the best of it and learned what I could. I tried my best to "translate" the stuff I didn't agree with by looking for the kernel of truth in everything. I tried to treat everything I was presented with as having the potential to help me if I looked at it right. In the end I think just having the time to dry out, be accountable, and think in depth about sobriety did the trick. If I'd had the money, I would've left and gone someplace that fit better with my philosophy... but in the end it got me sober anyway!
