Luxury rehab: is it worth the money you pay?: Luxury rehab centres started popping up in the 1980s and yes, for a long time they were the domain of the rich and famous. If you were fabulously wealthy or enjoyed celebrity status, you could slip away discretely and spend time recuperating at a high-heel rehab centre. If you weren’t, you more than likely found yourself subjected to a punishing regime at a facility that favoured a bootcamp approach to treating addiction. The no-frills approach where inpatients find themselves making their own beds, peeling potatoes and washing dishes has its roots …

Why testing my DNA was the best thing I ever did – MyPR.co.za
