Celebrities do everything in high class… including rehab. If you think that Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan would wander into any old rehab, think again. These famous ladies chose to go to Promises in Malibu.
Promises is a state of the art rehabilitation facility that has the best of everything. As it is portrayed on their website, www.promises.com, the program seems a lot like summer camp for addicts. Located on a Malibu hillside, the facility offers patients luxurious private rooms with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, as well as gourmet culinary cuisine. Incorporating everything from art, drama, and music, to horseback riding and surfing, into their therapeutic treatment, it’s no wonder the rich and famous chose Promises as the place to recover from addiction.
Promises’ multifaceted approach to healing from addiction has earned them a reputation for being one of the most successful rehabilitation centers in the world. While taking part in Promises’ residential (in-patient) program, a patient like Lindsay Lohan will receive top-of-the-line treatment, including a 12-step program, cognitive behavior therapy, group therapy, massage therapy, counseling, relapse prevention workshops, and medical attention.
The 5-star services at Promises run clients about $1600 a night, according to ABC News. Considering the average stay is approximately 30 days, the course costs clients about $50,000. Previous patients have included not only Britney Spears, but also Ben Affleck and Charlie Sheen. Despite the strict regimin that patients are supposedly required to adhere to in order to complete the entire program, Lindsay Lohan has already left promises twice in the week since she was admitted. Sources say that the first time she left was to go work out at a local gym. The Promises program does include physical fitness, but perhaps it was not intense enough for Lohan. Secondly, Lohan left to attend church. The Promises website does not mention anything about spiritual care, so perhaps this field trip was necessary.
If you are interested in getting help for an alcohol or drug addiction problem, and have $50,000 to invest in the cause, Promises just might be the facility for you. Visit the website at www.promises.com.
