Hi everyone,
I'm a 29 year old male looking to treat my alcoholism via a 1~2 month inpatient or residential treatment, and I would like some advice from those of you who have experienced treatment centers.

I am what some seem to call a functional alcoholic, meaning that I am working and living a somewhat normal life other than my drinking. I've been a heavy drinker for over 10 years now.

I've done a fair amount of research and have decided to sign into either HAZELDEN or BETTY FORD. There are some conflicting opinions that I have heard;

- Both programs are the same, go to Hazelden during Summer, and Betty Ford during Winter..

- Hazelden employees are less burned out than Betty Ford, and therefore the care is better

I had been leaning toward Hazelden despite the fact that it will be extremely cold in January-February, but I would very much appreciate your input.

hi and welcome ps

I have no personal knowledge of either but I understand both are very highly recommended.

Whichever one you choose I'm sure you won't regret it

I have no knowledge of either. But I have knowledge of treatment in general. I went in for 3 months. Best thing that ever happened to me.
