Antigen, this might help you more:

I put alot of weight into the referral base. I know some of these places but not all. I imagine the people on this board know them better. Archway High School in Houston does not impress me with their referral database for example. They use APGs alot here which I know very little about. I attended PDAP (Bob Meehan) in the late 70s and 80s, and there was a great deal of brainwashing involved. If you moved away you suddenly felt lost and out of control like any good cult would have you feel, note the sarcasm. AA you can find anywhere and there is brainwashing I guess if you want to call it brainwashing, but no one gains monetarily from brainwashing you at AA. It is there, take it or leave it.

I know that MN is a big place for legitimate treatment centers (i.e. Hazelden). They are actual 30 day programs not programs like Straight, PDAP, etc. During college, I lived in Rochester, NY, and alot of young people (18+) from there had gone for treatment at 30 day programs in MN. Some went on to halfway houses in MN and some came to the same Aftercare program I attended once a week in Rochester. I did not stay to graduate the aftercare program, because I found it not to be conducive to my life. I was at an academically challenging college and did not have time to go to AA meetings everyday like they wanted me to. While they expressed their objections to my dropping out of their program, no one blacklisted me as a friend. I still hung out with the same crowd at AA meetings.

 I am new to these boards so please don't shoot the messenger. This is a very backwards post so my apologies.
