Why so much? Other than gov funding, how are addicts supposed to get help?

The hard part is about 95% can’t afford it. Detox is damn close to being in ICU due to the danger in alcohol withdrawal. The majority go to the ER and if they’re lucky they might get a full detox but then they’re released back to the same environment that put them in there. A facility that rehabs properly has to have allot of experienced staff on hand, including counselors, nurses and doctors plus there’s a maintenance staff to take care of facility needs such as cooking, cleaning and repairs. A 40 bed facility has allot of expenses.
