For affluent individuals, traditional addiction treatment may not be helpful. It may even do harm by increasing the risk of the following events:

• Loss of privacy. Painful exposure can occur at mutual help groups, treatment facilities with low standards, and facilities with large numbers of residents and staff. The impact of a breach of confidentiality can be devastating.

• Family disconnection. Overly close relationships within traditional mutual-help groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, can be highly disruptive and unnecessarily intrusive to families with considerable wealth.

• Inaccessibility of high-quality psychological support. Contrary to what your clients may be told by sales people, many centers do not have reliable, high-level psychological professionals to offer them guidance.
