Best Rehabs for Alcohol Addiction in Pennsylvania?

Question by Ester: Best rehabs for alcohol addiction in Pennsylvania?

Answer by RoyS
The only rehabs I know about are near Philadelphia: Brook Glen, in Fort Washington, and the Horsham Clinic, in Ambler. Both of these are ‘dual diagnoses’ clinics, dealing with alcoholics with suicidal feelings, which many are.

What Are Some Movies About Losing Everything?

Question by : What are some movies about losing everything?
I’m looking for some movies about someone who falls from grace and loses everything either due to drug addiction or substance abuse. Possibly about someone who starts drinking and beings to use other drugs until they’ve lost everything, or about someone successful whose life spirals out of control.
