This should probably be consolidated with Substance-abuse rehabilitation. - Eisnel 03:04, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Recidivism Rates
Does anybody have any info on the recidivism rates? I hear they're very high.
- Yeah, 83% for first timers, slightly higher for second timers and significantly less for three timers. Tcennis 05:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

- The recidivism rates probably depend a lot on the program in question, and trying to predict the likelyhood of any given person from such a coarse statistic is meaningless at best and counterproductive at worst. Motivation, life situation, long-term changes to brain chemistry, and any number of different factors come into play. Zuiram 23:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adding a link is a bad thing?
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.

[edit] Changing Links
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)

[edit] rv pensacola spam
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)
