Another prominent component of drug rehabilitation programs is the use of a physical location with a controlled environment where the patient is taught life skills while undergoing treatment. Treatment centers can be private or government operated.

The largest age group entering drug rehab programs is 36 to 40 years old but all age groups have needed treatment. It is a fact that half of US teenagers try marijuana before finishing high school.
