My counselor read me like a book. I would say, the counselors are the strength. I really can't think of any weakness, it worked for me!! I was a patient back in 2004. I put myself into Lakeside. I had excellent family support, as well as great support from my counselor. I have recommended Lakeside to 2 individuals whom asked me where I did my treatment. I believe, if you are sick and tired of the way your life is, because of the alcohol or drugs that your addicted to, and you've admitted to yourself, that it's time to get help, Lakeside-Milam has the tools to give you. They will work hard to help you to help yourself, to get clean and sober, and they will teach you the tools that you will need to use once you are discharged from their facility. They also have an amazing follow-up program.
Strengths: Native American Track, deep into personal conflicts into the individual, gets them talking, mindfullness work, cultural, drumming, makes drums, and get to keep them beating, Weaknesses: Filtering out people that actually wanted treatment, others there for legal reasons, I would highly recommend this program, to any Native American or any other race.
Sundown offers a great program. The facility is nice, food was good although it was mainly comfort food, and everyone who works there was so kind and a lot of them had been in the program. I really did not receive much one on one time with my counselor but if I needed her she was there for me. I would suggest to some of the staff that they get out of their big offices and interact with the patients a little more... I am 49 years old and went there on my own accord and paid for some of it out of pocket, I wasn't there to mess around.

Fortunately, treatment and recovery options are available, and more people appear to be taking advantage of them in recent years—particularly recovering opioid users.
Rehab costs will vary widely, and factors influencing how much you’ll pay include whether you choose a standard or luxury program, the location of the facility, how much your insurance will cover and the duration of the stay (e.g. 28-30 days, 60 days, 90 days).
The price of an inpatient program can seem daunting initially, but it’s important to weigh the financial cost against the price you’ll pay for not getting the help you need. You could suffer financial devastation, fractured relationships with your loved ones and even death.
Many programs offer options for people who need help affording treatment. You can call specific facilities to ask about their financing options.
