Question
Hey there - great question. I will answer briefly by saying that more expensive rehabs may offer higher quality services and staff but there is no safe assumption here - we have to compare each rehab center on it's own merits.
Longer answer - by the time a person needs rehab they have hit bottom and putting together sobriety and dealing with withdrawal and medical issues is the priority. You don't need a pool or jacuzzi to make that happen. My professional opinion is that it's what happens after rehab that makes all the difference. My bias is that self help - AA, NA, and others are the REAL experts and I encourage folks to attend while they are in rehab and to do 90 meetings in 90 days after rehab.
