Inside Hollywood’s Most Luxurious Rehab Centers

The Non-Treatment Treatment

At Saint Jude Executive Retreat, addiction isn’t considered a disease. They don’t even refer to it as treatment but rather “an educational experience designed to empower substance abusers and teach them new, healthy patterns of behavior.” Located on a secluded country home-like setting in Upstate, New York, each guest receives a private room and a 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio (six clients max). It targets high-functioning professionals who must continue to run their businesses during treatment. Every meal is made to order, and clients enjoy daily trips to the gym as well as golfing, hiking, fishing, concerts, Broadway shows, the opera and museums. The $38,000 a month stay also includes facials, manicures, and pedicures.
