Charlie Sheen is going to rehab at the ritzy Promises center, w hile Lindsay Lohan is in the much
simpler Westw ood facility.
BILL: "Worried" writes that his drunk
daughter wants him to pay for her rehab.
"But I hear that people like (TV star) Charlie
Sheen just check in and out of 'Promises,'
the one he likes in Malibu, as if it’s a resort
hotel. At sixteen hundred bucks a day, I’m
sure it’s very luxurious, but Bill and Dr.
Dave, what has that to do with getting
sober?'
DR. DAVE: An ABC news feature called
Promises the Ritz of Rehab . Their web
portal opens to a sun-bathing "patient"
reading her therapy book, atop a rock wall
overlooking a panorama of Malibu Beach.

Dave, I’ve been in a lot of groups where many of had gone into rehab to avoid jail
sentences. The fact that some people can pay to make court-ordered rehab a plush
experience arouses the Puritan in me – the fear "that someone, somehow, somewhere
is having a good time, and it shouldn’t be allowed."

DR. DAVE: Fand there are many people who would join in that, particularly those who

are in a swimming pool or mopping the floor. I remember in mine, we were constantly
speculating on who was going "to make it" or not. What works is the steady
internalization of the groups’ bitter knowledge that to go back to booze or dope is to be a
loser. But Dave, since you once headed a famous rehab yourself, what do you think is the
mark of a good rehab – one that does the job, rather than furnishing a luxurious place to
hide out until the law (or your spouse) is off your back?

DR. DAVE: I’m not a big fan of playing to the retribution side of society by making all
treatment facilities into boot camps. But I also cringe at the seaside Malibu Model, one
that symbolically rewards you BEFORE you’ve even begun to change your internal view of
life.

BILL: Admirable -- but what does that look like in real life, Doc?

DR. DAVE: I’ll boil it down to four things for you. First, you can throw away most of the court
evaluations that conclude with the statement that somebody should complete X amount
of days of Y type of treatment. Then, before you go any further, the program should be run
on what is called the American Society of Addiction Medicine, or ASAM, model.

BILL: Our readers could look at the same online slideshow you pointed me at when I
was trying to understand what the six dimensions of ASAM were--at a website put
