Do you know of more Detx or Rhabs?

If a rehab or detox center that is not on this blog for others to comment on please tell me. I would like to get as much info up here as possible. Because it is hard to find all the info in one place that people can comment on. If you have been to one of these services please leave your impression of that service on the comments. Granted the comments will be moderated :-) Thanks Frank Smolle

Drug and alcohol detox and Rehab:

In the media, alcohol and other drugs (A&OD) have been always an issue surrounding social problems and crime. I have started to make a data base for my-self about all the services that are available for people wishing to improve their lot in life. This has been a tiresome job because the information is so spread out and information that there is available is more often than not the propaganda of the organisation. The method of detox is most commonly an in-house or residential program, with some being non-medicated and others medicated. Likewise for rehabilitation from A&OD is either in a residential setting of in an inpatient program. But if you are a person trying to find the information you want to find the organisation of program that suites you, the process is daunting and you may not have the time, the patience, or the skill to get the information. Then if you do find the webpage of the organisation that you wish to attend, you will only get the information that the organisation wishes to publish and the favourable reports that are given to them by clients. Furthermore, the web page may be out of date, with rules being changed and the website still having the old information on it. I have been thinking about placing the information that I have gathered on this blog, instead of having a data base. Then having you the consumers of these services comment on the blog posting or comment on the organisation with your opinions. Because you have used a service you are in the position to state what you got out of the service and if you recommend the service to others. Granted some people like the 12 step program and find that that was the best thing for you, while others think the way to go is with the CBT styled programs. There are some programs out there that use Maslow's hierarchy of needs and other behavioural therapies. SO ... I was thinking about putting the guts of a service up on this blog. Ie: Service Name: Address: Contact details: Webpage: Style of program: Target client base: Then you can post your comments and comment to other people's comments about the service. Then if you feel that I have missed out on providing the information of a service you can either leave a comment or email me. The main reason for doing this is to provide you with the information about any A&OD service that are out there and at the same time give you the opportunity to comment with your experience in that service. But be aware that the comments are moderated.
