What Happens at a Drug Treatment Facility?

Question by wonderwoman: What happens at a drug treatment facility?
Someone I know just entered a New York State run drug rehabilitation facility. What happens while he is there? Will I be able to visit? When will he leave? If anyone is willing to share a personal experience I would greatly appreciate it.

Call the clinic and ask them, not us. They probably have there own standards they meet and the patients have to meet them. Not all clinics have the same goals or the way they reach them, what is of concern to them. Call them.

Her group estimates the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act, if passed by voters, would generate 0 million a year in revenue, 90 percent of which would go to the states general fund. The rest would go primarily to drug abuse treatment programs, Martinez says.
