Miro, thanks much for sharing. CRTC looks nice, and it's certainly a relief to have options that are more affordable than usually overpriced treatment centers in the US and Europe. I love Costa Rica and it makes a wonderful setting for treatment. And I had not heard of EDMR before, so that was interesting indeed.
But can you be more specific on how its approach is different from what you experienced before? And I assume the 12-step approach is not part of the treatment regime?
Always nice to read about the community and how it helps each other. I would like to add one center that personally helped my overcome a my addiction of alcohol and other drugs. The treatment happened in a beautiful old house in Rohrmoser called Costa Rica Treatment Center. Their approach is much different than any i've experienced before as this wasn't my first time. Their drug rehab programs are top notch. Highly recommended!!
