It was court ordered. I did not feel like it helped me. I did what I had to do to complete my probation and I got out. This program was funded by the county, so perhaps a privately funded rehab would have been better. In either case, my behavior has not changed, mostly because I felt it didn’t need to change.
My court ordered rehab was putting dudes w >1year clean time on suboxone.
It was a grift, the profitization of the Healthcare and criminal justice system.
I went there after jail, and it just felt like an extension of county jail. So it was "better than jail" but never quite felt like rehab. Largely dependent on the community vibe. One person could throw a wrench in it.
Ultimately I had found change before I ever got to the rehab. The rehab was more like a ridiculous reality TV side bonus to getting my real freedom back.
