I have a 30 year old daughter, who has been a crystal meth abuser for
about ten years. I am extremely concerned that she is destroying her
health, her life and    her soul and is subjecting herself to an
increasingly high risk of premature death. I am convinced that the
only hope of saving her is to get her into a drug rehab program and
somehow keep her there for at least 30 days.  With the help of some
excellent research done recently by Google's "crabcakes" I may now
have the means of persuading her that her life and health are in such
great jeopardy that she can not afford to wait any longer and must
enroll now in a drug rehab program. However, getting her to enroll in
a program and getting her to complete a program are two vastly
different things. She was in a program two years ago but walked out
after only four days. Walking away from that program was very easy for
her because the program was near a city and near many of her drug
connections. This time I want to put her into a program from which it
would be very difficult for her to walk away. I checked on Sierra
Tucson and was very impressed with the quality of its program and
thought it would be ideal because it is located in the middle of a
desert. The extreme remoteness would obviously pose a substantial
obstacle to my daughter when she develops the inivitable desire to
bolt from the program to satisfy her craving for more crystal meth. My
hope is that if I can get her through the detox period that lasts
almost a week she might participate meaningfully in the counseling
sessions and thereby start to come to grips with the issues that have
driven her to drugs. Maybe then, her life could be saved.
Unfortunately, my daughter says she would never consent to Sierra
Tucson because it is a 12 step program. She claims she could never
respect or get benefit from any program that is based upon religion
and prayer. She says if she were to decide to enroll in a program she
would like to enroll at the Rennaisance facility in Malibu,
California. From my research it is an excellent non 12 step program
but I could never agree to pay for her participation there because I
am convinced it would be a total waste of my money since the facility
is in a large city and within 20 miles of her residence.
   So, my question (finally) is this: Can you give me a list of some
respected non 12 step drug rehab programs that are located in remote
areas? Alternatively, and particularly if nothing comes up, I would
like to know which of the high quality 12 step programs in remote
locations are least closely based upon religion and prayer.
