It is a six month rehab, if you are a relapse "client" you have to go back for four months.
This is a court ordered rehab, cannot see anyone going by choice at all.
Behavior Modification is the way describe what they do to/ for clients. I call it brain washing. They try to make people tattle on each other, and 98% do. It is a client ran atmosphere and you can get in deep troubl;e and or set back to jail if you do not comply with the rules ( they mean that too).
Even though I tried like hell not to learn anything from it (hard headed at best here) I did get a lot out of it. The second time too. LOL
If you want to change then they will help you get you're life back in order, if you try to fake it til ya make it then it is your own loss. Like me.. you will relapse and you will return to Cornell... the very place that Everyone but Everyone swears they will Never be sent back to. never say never.
When you are released you are required to have a job, a place to live, a bank account, and enough money to do all of these things.
Six months of aftercare is required. Once a week for six full months. If you miss three in a row you go straight back to jail.
They do not play.
