Drug Treatment Under Fire

I've been hearing a lot of opinions recently about these super rich celebrities going into rehab that operates more as a vacation home than a drug and alcohol treatment facility. 
I don't know what's going on at theses ultra exclusive rehabs in Malibu where enough money will buy someone a day off to get a tan, a private romp around the house with the chef, or sneak out fora private party with 1,000 closest friends, drugs, and alcohol - then declare success and rehabilitation from addiction.  This is ludicrous and not the way in which real drug rehabs operate.  I have no doubt that the large majority of these celebrities going into drug rehab have no real interest in staying sober, and that kind of attitude won't bring about recovery in any treatment center.
But for those who believe the actions of the few represent the behaviors of all drug rehab centers, this is simply not true.  With the dedication to get and stay sober, most treatment centers work absolute magic in maintaining sobriety, keeping substances out of the center, and keeping order and structure.  Drug rehab is not a vacation and at the same time, it is not a prison. 
Good drug rehab centers employ means to make sobriety fun with a variety of activities and exercises.  Most drug rehabs are good treatment centers and no amount of money will provide special treatment to give means for relapse and inappropriate behavior.  No level of celebrity can override the rules and regulations of the rehab facility.  No one addict is any more entitled than another, just as no one human is more entitled than another.
It's a shame to me that drug rehabs are getting a bad rap because of  a couple who have bowed to celebrity and money over  the gift and blessing of sobriety and if it were up to me, I would have the licenses of these drug rehabs revoked.  People should not be in this industry unless the number one priority is always helping addicts to heal.
Reocvery is possible with devotion to sobriety and a treatment center who shares the same vision of healing.
