It varies from state to state, as well as region to region, and also depends on if insurance is covering it or not. In-patient vs. out-patient rehab programs also have varying rules.

In general, there will be individual as well as group counseling, along with a push to continue going to AA, NA, or similar meetings after you “graduate” or complete treatment.

If it is in-patient, the main required things are the counseling, and there will be other activities available: there is usually a game room and a tv room. Some centers have arts and crafts, art therapy, or art supplies available. There will be coffee everywhere. Most people trade their drug or alcohol addiction for a coffee addiction, which is more socially acceptable and causes way fewer issues.

There is a long list of what you can not do. Depending on the place and the program, you may or may not be allowed to smoke. There may be visitors allowed, or not, or sometimes allowed after a certain amount of time. There are consequences if you don’t follow the rules, up to and including being kicked out, or “failing” the program.

You really would have to research the individual center. Most places have on-line sites that can give you a better idea.
