there should be some sort of history of rehab on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.61.24.251 ( talk) 16:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
This should probably be consolidated with Substance-abuse rehabilitation. - Eisnel 03:04, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Does anybody have any info on the recidivism rates? I hear they're very high.
I have been trying to add a link to this subject, but it has been removed several times and I have been told that it doesnt meet wikipedia's guidelines. I didnt see any guidelines that I broke. I dont own the site, am not trying to promote the site I am wishing to add. I am only suggesting it be added because it if I hadn't found it, I probably wouldnt be here today. I am just trying to help. Its the news articles which seem kinda pointless to me.
Thanks, Tcennis 05:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
The listing 'California Department of Rehabilitation' is geared for individuals with disabilities and not drug rehabilitation. I am removing this listing and adding the link for aboutrecovery.com that contains information geared specifically toward drug rehab that was written and is sponsored by a 501.3c non-profit organization.

There seems to be a continuing revert war going on about the www.aboutrecovery.com site Comprehensive Drug Rehab Resources. Could people express their views on whether it's a worthwhile organisation to be linked to? Nunquam Dormio 18:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I continue to add this link because A. It was a lifesaver for us and B. Contrary to any site linked on here, a person can go to it and actually get help without having to do a lot of research. And I find it much more valid than even the article on heroin.
Tcennis 15:53, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Adding links that point to an entity that benefits monetarily (think: advertising) is against guidelines. Yes, even for non-profits that generate revenue through such "advertising." Also, think about the point-of-view consequences... I am sure thousands of legitimate rehabs have at least one program graduate that can say that it was a "lifesaver" so should we have 9,000 links on this encyclopedia entry, just to be fair? That would be non-productive. 67.166.9.1 02:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Someone added a spam to the end of the page, that I yanked. Had to save twice for the change to show up, however, so if someone could check that it stays that way, that'd be nice. I do not have this page watchlisted. Zuiram 23:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Rehab is a phoney money making scam. The rehab model is based on the prison model and forced 12 step witchcraft religion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.138.30 ( talk) 16:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I came here specifically to read criticism of drug rehabilitation and was disappointed it wasn't there. I lack the knowledge to competently add such a section, but I hope someone rises to the challenge. 75.0.14.196 ( talk) 03:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Any criticism of the 12-Step Religion gets deleted. Witchcraft & Sorcery Cults are like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.111.134.207 ( talk) 16:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I also think that the 12-step program, while indeed helpful for many individuals, shouldn't be part of rehab programs addicted individuals have to pay for. Furthermore, many of the recovery programs offered in the US are indeed very expensive, and the presented material is often hard to digest for intelligent or educated people. Of course, whatever helps can be regarded as helpful, and the 12 step program is certainly not connected to witchcraft. What should happen however, particularly in American drug rehab programs, that more in depth psychological counseling is included. I basically don't have anything against certified drug abuse counselors, but there too, often the problems that are addressed by those are heavily based on the 12 step AA or NA system, which is public and not suitable for everyone since it cannot address individual needs. Particularly the approach to declare a "higher power" as a sort of guidance and central dogma of recovery is problematic and this approach is usually not part of drug rehab styles offered on the European continent. Again, recovery programs in the US should become smarter and more geared towards the individual. Medical and psychoanalytical approaches facilitated by trained psychologist and psychiatrists should be used more frequently since not everyone can be cured with a 12 step anonymous gathering. In my opinion it is very important to include meditation techniques and behavioral and cognitive methods. I also believe that social workers should play a bigger role in long term drug rehab especially for such individuals who became drop-outs and jobless due to their long term drug use. But again, to claim that 12step programs have anything to do with witchcraft or superstition is taking the critique to far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.106.153.17 ( talk) 13:24, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Per WP:BLP, I have just removed the entire "Celebrities in Rehab" section as unsourced. - Mdsummermsw ( talk) 13:36, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I deleted a few of the more onerous unreferenced statements throughout the article. Desoto10 ( talk) 20:21, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
I had thought this respected media documentary to be relevant to the article.
However, User:Coffeepusher, without discussion, reverted it out under WP:EL. I still think it deserves merit. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc ( talk) 19:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

1. Research on the current state of drug rehabilitation centers and evaluate a need for criticism and add this section to the page. (This is a concerning issue if rehab centers, as an institution, are having malpractice issues as people come to this page to make medical decisions). 2. Add some of the missing citations. 3. Perhaps expand the medications section of the page or reorganize it based on substance (alcohol, stimulants, opioids, etc.) Dmcha ( talk) 03:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
This page had already noted something about antidepressants and smoking, my intention was to add a citation and further clarify their initial statement. I agree with you that it may not necessarily fit with drug rehab, but it is an important aspect of treating nicotine addiction. Kmarie14 ( talk) 14:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
It's not clear whether the citation at the end of the sentence is reference to only nortriptyline or to both Burproprion and nortriptyline. Additionally, I would add "it" between "though has".
Thank you I added a citation after the first sentence as well to clarify. Kmarie14 ( talk) 14:10, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Answering Questions #1-4:
I have taken the peer reviews into consideration as I completed my final edits. I added a few more missing citations into the treatment and medication sections as well as added a few more facts relevant to the treatment process. Drug rehab is a very current issue and as treatment evolves and access to rehabilitation facilities improve, hopefully there will be more edits to this page. I am looking forward to seeing them. Kmarie14 ( talk) 14:20, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
Wow thank you guys for the thoughtful insights! I listened to your input and made some changes under the "Recovery" section (e.g. paraphrasing the direct quote and citing the pdf version of the journal article instead to make it viewable to the public). Dmcha ( talk) 15:07, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
While reading over this article, I will be revising for a neutral tone, checking grammar and mechanics, watching for concise language, making sure it has a strong lead, keeping well-organized sections and paragraphs, adjusting the summary, and checking sources.
