Drug Rehab Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is this drug rehab program much more affordable than other treatment?

The agency coordinates a licensed outpatient facility with a therapeutic Recovery House on the same camp grounds for effective, low-cost retreat counseling. We are an accredited not-for-profit drug rehab agency with charitable contributions from many concerned people caring about proliferation of drug addiction.

2. How is the drug rehab program different from a Detox. or other residential facilities?

We are not a medical detoxification or traditional

residential Facility. Our alternative drug rehab program structure combines two separate treatment components in a retreat camp setting. Researches on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Counseling are favorable for alcohol and cocaine abuse. 12-step drug rehab programs also have a good track record for helping people stay clean in the community. Givebac Retreat Counseling places emphasis on understanding both.

3. How long do I have to stay for drug rehab treatment to be effective?

Depending on prior use, the longer the stay the better your results. A minimum of 4 weeks will allow completion of a basic 28-day drug rehab program indicating an “Early Full Remission” from chemical abuse. Depending on last day of use, 2 two weeks you should feel and report a noticeable change in alcohol and drug cravings along with a fresh appearance. Oftentimes, most “strong” withdrawal symptoms’ will begin to subside during this time.
