Supporting Someone in Drug Rehab?

Question by Jango: Supporting someone in drug rehab?
My sister’s going into a private rehab facility for heroin addiction. She made the choice herself and has been on methadone for 2 months since she quit. So she’s coming off the methadone now. How can I support and encourage her while she’s in there? Loneliness seems to be a big aspect of her feeling terrible at the moment and she really seems to want her family right now (my parents are completely supporting her). How can I help ensure she doesn’t quit and makes it through? She’ll be in rehab for a month and something akin to a medical hotel for 5 months after that. My only addiction in life has been cigarettes so I can’t imagine what it must be like for her. Are there any recovered/recovering addicts that can share some help on this?

Are Christian Drug Rehab Clinics Any Good?

Question by carl: Are Christian drug rehab clinics any good?
I’m afraid that they might not be versed in current psychological methods that are proven and may rely on magic, or an ‘outside’ source to do the work.

Answer by Kyle
They will employ all of the typical “scientifically-proven” methods of breaking addictions. They may incorporate God into the process (oh no!), but they’re usually also much cheaper than non-religious drug rehab.
