Must-haves for rehab

Especially with seemingly all of young Hollywood taking drugs, driving drunk, and hopping in and out of treatment facilities, rehab is a popular topic of conversation. But, at least for these starlets, the programs don't seem to work -- so what will make sure your rehab experience gets you sober?

That's the question CNN's Empowered Patient recently took on, and, according to this piece, the five essentials are: no amenities, an experienced staff, individual therapy, gender-separate facilities, and a good exit strategy.

Essentially, it's important to remember that you're there for one purpose and one purpose alone: to get past your addiction. Anything that hinders that -- whether it be ritzy accommodation or potential romantic involvement, should be avoided. Also, recovery takes much longer than the 28 days most people spend in rehab, so be sure to find a place that will help you through the entire process -- not just during your stay at the facility.
