Question - why hasn't someone in one of Pigboy's detox visits

[elfin]

ratted him out for $$??

I do not know the protocol for these institutions - what are the penlaties for breaking confidentiality of a fellow patient?

And why did he go to New York? Where does he broadcast from?

I am not a listener - was he absent from the airwaves for any period of time? Or did they let him broadcast from there?

1. with Rush's $$$$ he can have a very

private detox. If IF he went at all.

2. No, he wasn't broadcasting from detox

It just sounds that way

3. Hazelden in Minnesota

One of the first and most effective treatment centers has a good record of keeping the names of rich and famous peoplequite who came through it's doors.

I knew several workers there and they were held to a high level of belief in the Hazelden System and held the confidentiality in highest regards for their clients and in doing, and keeping, their jobs. That was in the mid-90's and I doubt has changed much. The only way I knew who was at the center was when people saw the clients in transit.

4. Has he ever been off the air for four weeks?

It would seem simple to prove/disprove some of these allegations.

If he's been in detox twice in the last few years... doesn't that take several weeks? At least two? Is there a "three day weekend" version of detox?

Has he ever been away from the mike for an extended period of time. I doubt he faked cochlear surgery to hide a detox visit.

5. most detox programs

use a variety of group therapy techniques. These typically generate a feeling of camaraderie as well as have a strong privacy component. "What is said in the group, stays in the group" I think this is entirely appropriate. Additionally it is very likely as someone posted earlier that Rush was given very high levels of privacy assurances.
