Depends on the clinic. In might be a home or more like a hospital. Drug Rehab is supervised by counselors

Depends on the clinic they may be in the same building but not in the same sleeping room.

It is very rigid. If they are there for their probation that it is up to their PO.

It is as effective as the person wants it to be. They are generally only in for 28 days they need to be committed to change.

No
