It can be helpful to deal with your addiction in the unfamiliar but comfortable new circumstances of a residential treatment center.
The main downsides of working on your addiction at a treatment center are the cost and the time. It’s no coincidence that you often hear about celebrities treating their addictions at residential treatment centers: sometimes it seems like they are the only ones who can afford it. For most places, it’s not uncommon for each week of treatment to cost $ 1000. This may be worth it if you or your family are wealthy, or it may be worth it to keep your high-paying job.
