Question by I’m gonna start another riot: Can somebody explain why Mexico would even have drug rehab centers since Mexico says its only a US problem?
Even for regular families with addicts, drug centers can be ugly places. Parents commit unruly adolescents or even their adult children against their will for months at a time. Beatings are often part of therapy, hygiene can be poor and lax enforcement of regulations prevails.

I had a very bad cold so that I had the opportunity to watch A&E’s Intevention. Over 80% if not 90% of the addicts return to their addiction after they left rehab.

I’m beginning to wonder if rehab only works if the addicts admits themselves, not forced into going…

I placed this question in Mental Health, because from what I watched, ALL of the addicts had mental issues. Everything from child molestation to mental/physical abuse

Recovery Homes for Woman with Children
One of the biggest challenges facing alcoholic and drug addicted women is what to do with their children when they want help. Many recovery homes require a stay of three to nine months and no accommodations for children. These women often do not have family willing to care for the children during this time. The fathers may have their own substance abuse problems or a history of physical abuse. Women are reluctant to ask for help from social service in fear of never getting their children back. So they continue in their addictions .
There are a handful of these homes and they do much more than treat alcoholism and drug addiction.

Not only do they have parenting classes but the counselors are there to help with day to day parenting problems these mothers face. Many of these children have behavioral problems due to the mother’s substance abuse and receive their own counseling.
The results are wonderful. The mothers are clean and sober, with newfound life and parenting skills. They are confident and have gained much needed self-esteem. They leave with a support system and a new lease on life. The children have their mommy back along with
