Charlie Sheen is going to rehab at the ritzy Promises center, w hile Lindsay Lohan is in the much

simpler Westw ood facility.

BILL: "Worried" writes that his drunkdaughter wants him to pay for her rehab."But I hear that people like (TV star) CharlieSheen just check in and out of 'Promises ,'the one he likes in Malibu, as if it’s a resort

hotel. At sixteen hundred bucks a day, I’msure it’s very luxurious, but Bill and Dr.Dave, what has that to do with gettingsober?'

DR. DAVE: An ABC news feature call edPromises the Ritz of Rehab . Their webportal opens to a sun-bathing "patient"reading her therapy book, atop a rock walloverlooking a panorama of Malibu Beach.

BILL: I think I saw the same patient reading her book overlooking the bay at a differentrehab on Newport Beach!

DR. DAVE: That may be why Judge Marsha Revel made a last minute switch in LindsayLohan?a>??s choice of rehabs, ordering the wayward star to UCLA’s famous ly no-frills,medical model, subs tance abuse program in Westwood. Specializing in combinedpsychiatric and substance abus e dis orders, they treated Britney Spears after her 2008

breakdown.

BILL:A decision that was widely applauded, especially by Lohan’s own physicians. ButDave, I’ve been in a lot of groups where many of had gone into rehab to avoid jailsentences. The fact that some people can pay to make court-ordered rehab a plushexperience arouses the Puritan in me – the fear "that someone, s omehow, somewhereis having a good time, and it shouldn’t be allowed."

DR. DAVE: and there are many people who would join in that, particularly those who

Enablizers surround them, forgive and cover up for them. Does

anyone think either one of these two people will finally grow up andtake personal respons ibility for their actions? Do they know how m anypeople have been hurt by them? Sure, they have been the moneymakers for their families, especially in Lindsays' case. In her case,her family should be ordered to permanently stay away from her. InCharlie's case, he has children- he needs to grow up. They are bothspoiled brats and frankly, the media needs to ignore them. Perhapsthe lack of publicity will finally get them to straighten up. Get off thebooze and the drugs and maybe they might have a chance.

RECENT COMMENTS FROM DAILY NEWS READERS

mouth the words that 'addiction is a disea se' —but secretly want a pound of flesh m orethan treatment and recovery. OK, then Bill -- what do you propose as a model for treatment?

BILL:Rehabs are supposed to be non-judgmental but there is one moral law that isomnipresent. The conscience of the rehab group itself. And that’s in the air, whether youare in a swim ming pool or m opping the floor. I remember in mine, we were constantlyspeculating on who was going "to make it" or not. What works is the steadyinternalization of the groups’ bitter knowledge that to go back to booze or dope is to be aloser. But Dave, since you once headed a famous rehab yourself, what do you think is themark of a good rehab – one that does the job, rather than furnishing a luxurious place tohide out until the law (or your spouse) is off your back?

DR. DAVE: I’m not a big fan of playing to the retribution side of society by making all

treatment facilities into boot camps . But I also cringe at the seas ide Malibu Model, onethat symbolica lly rewards you BEFORE you’ve even begun to change your internal view of life.

BILL:Admirable -- but what does that look like in real life, Doc?

DR. DAVE: I’ll boil it down to four things for you. First, you can throw away most of the courtevaluations that conclude with the statement that somebody should complete X amountof days of Y type of treatment. Then, before you go any further, the program s hould be runon what is called the American Society of Addiction Medicine, or ASAM, model.

BILL:Our readers could look at the same online slides how you pointed me at when Iwas trying to understand what the six dimensions of ASAM were--at a website puttogether by Elizabeth Kotkin.

DR. DAVE: Thanks for the reminder. There are six ASAM areas of treatment planning and Iwould also want to see what were the treatment objectives in all six areas, and how they’be achieved. Finally, I would want to know where in the program the patients would learnto work each of the 12 Steps and how they would be reinforced for making them part of their daily lives.

BILL: Maybe by a trip to the beach?

DR. DAVE: Or like at many centers, after you reach a certain level, community trips to 12Step meetings, recovery clubs and other clean and sober venues.

BILL:Point taken Dave. Puerta Vallarta can wait.

I looked at Elizabeth Kotkin's website, and I see nothing about the 12steps being a part of the ASAM treatment protocol. I also note thatASAM has endorsed the Recovery Bill of Rights, which specificallystates that no one path to recovery is right for everyone and calls for different paths to be respected. It would really behoove you to openyour eyes to the fact that 12 s tep is not the right path for everyone, andto stop insisting that each and every person who wants recovery "workthe steps" as part of their treatment.

"one moral law that is omnipresent. The conscience of the rehabgroup itself"...unless that group conscience is akin to the one in DC,the Midtown Group, n'est pas?
