A member asked:

Friend just entered a new york state run drug rehabilitation facility. what happens while he is there?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the drug: Abstinence, counseling, treatment of mental illness, group therapy, behavior or cognitive therapy, and assessment of safety in returning to the' free world' with follow up care plan. With a concerned family or friends supporting abstinence, success rates improve.
