Treatment is not cheap. The full course costs $14,500 (£8,790) for 45 days, and there is a $200 (£121) application fee and $800 (£485) interview fee before people can be admitted. Staying at the centre longer than 45 days costs $9,300 (£5,635) a month.


That doesn't sound even a little bit like a scam.
