IT'S JUST NOT THAT EASY

Mr. Rush Limbaugh makes rehabilitation sound so easy. I have no ax to grind 
with the popular commentator/general "fix it" entrepreneur. But after a 
quarter century as counselor in crisis work (including drug addiction), the 
"shaking off" of Oxycontin addiction is a lot more complicated than 
spending 30 days - and a million dollars.

I sincerely wish that such a simple process would bring about lasting 
results; but honest records across the nation indicate otherwise. My 
remarks will have no effect on Mr. Limbaugh; but it just might help some 
poor soul who has been through a score of programs - and still suffers 
physical, psychological, and mental bankruptcy. They know the truth.
