Daniel Sullivan was just getting over his prescription pill addiction when he landed a job as a manager at a sober living home in Prescott, Arizona. His day started at 7 a.m., when he would wake the more than dozen residents. He drove residents first to a clinic then to their jobs and later in the evening to various A.A. meetings. He would take a final head count and go to bed at 1 a.m. But the real toll was mental, he said, not physical. When residents violated house rules, they could be kicked out for 72 hours. “There were a bunch of occasions when I had to ’72’ someone and I’d get a call soon after, saying the person had died,” Daniel said. Today, Prescott has are some 33 sober living homes, down from a peak last year of 170. Across the U.S., spending on addiction treatment has soared past $35 billion annually. But not all patients can afford, or have insurance that covers, the kind of inpatient rehab associated with celebrities. To meet the demand, former addicts have become entrepreneurs, offering a new and cheaper version of rehab. That’s what has swarmed Prescott — small, outpatient clinics. Countless former patients swear by the treatment they received, including plenty whose victory over addiction enabled them to go into business themselves. How did a sun-drenched Arizona town become one of the rehab capitals of the U.S.? Visit the link in our profile to read more, and to see more photos by @jtergo.
