I spent 7 months in a Teen Challenge (adult center) in ga and it was complete bullshit. We lived in an old elementary school where the classrooms were the dorm rooms that held about 6-8 men each. You have church about 3 times a week and bible classes everyday where they made you memorize all kinds of bible verses. You worked everyday and never got paid. The food was shit and the staff and "counselors" were the most stupid and brainwashed people I have ever met. You can't listen to music unless its christian, otherwise it's considered secular. The whole time I was there we watched about 5 movies and they were all about some jesus... I mean from the 80's where jesus had blond hair blue eyes with a British accent. There was no kind of recovery in it AT ALL. This was in 2001.
I'm actually in another rehab right now in gainsville ga called turning point. Way better. Not christian at all
they give you 2 weeks to find a job and the rent is 200 a week(I know it sucks but we live in nice ass apartments). You get drug tested and breathalyzed periodically and after about a month you can come and go as you please as long as you sign in and out. There is drug and alcohol classes as well as 12 step classes (they start you off with 2 of each a week and bump you down the longer you're there). It's really about being accountable. If you're in a place where you can never leave its not really being sober because you're locked up without a chance to use. This place keeps you accountable and prepares you for the outside with plenty of chances to use but it strengthens your will power. If you piss dirty your out. A lot of the people even have cars. You eat whatever you want (share a pantry and fridge) as long as you buy your own shit. Sleep whenever you want as long as you're not at work or group/class. I've been to several recovery centers and heard about even more and this has to be one of the best ones I've ever heard of (beside those ones in Malibu that cost like $14,000 for some 28 day shit where all you do is sit around and get massages and do yoga).
My point is... DON'T GO TO TEEN CHALLENGE! Find you a state operated detox and look for a long-term place from there. They'll help you find one cause they've heard of tons of them. They only usually keep you in detox for a couple of weeks and sometimes will help you find a way to pay for long term places and some of them give you sweet kickdowns.
Good luck to you.
