I think that largely depends on a few factors in general:
Why you are there
In what kind of rehab are you? (Open/closed)
how is the personnel treating you
how can U manage with the other people there
are you on meds or not
are visitors allowed
how long is your stay
…
So in my case I’m lucky to live in Germany, so I don’t have to worry about cost. It still costs a fee per day but it’s not so much.
I happened to not take any meds and was there, because I feared that I could harm myself or worse, given some more alone time.
I think a large part of my rehab was the time I was able to spend just living and really getting a feeling of what live can be if you don’t have anything to take care of. You basically live in a closed/semi closed environment so you don’t really have any chores or similar stuff to do. You wake up and just live beside your therapy schedule (that was not enforced). I managed to even find someone I caught feelings for and am still in contact with (to make it short, I’m rambling enough) this someone was the true help that I needed. The rehab itself is hard to pin down, because you really only see your own progress when it has already almost completed.
Still I went to therapy for a year after the rehab. I would say it’s a good starting point (at least for mental illness) but it’s hard work and you really want to get better yourself, else it’s useless. In the end it’s up to you what you make of it, they only give you the environment and help to take the steps yourself.
