Jeanette Walls reports that Nicole Richie:
"went AWOL from rehab — to go shopping."
Nicole had checked herself into one of the coziest, most comfortable treatment centers in the country. The Beau Monde, located in Newport Beach CA, is extraordinarily expensive. The center describes its services and costs this way:
All services are private, one-to-one and are confidentially located in beautiful seaside private luxury homes in Newport Beach, CA. Rates for our programs range from $9875 per week (smaller private room with detached shared bath) to $14450 (large ocean view spa suite or executive suite w/loft) per week depending on accommodations chosen. Programs are a minimum of two weeks in length and average length of stay is 4 weeks. Medical drug detox with our program physicians is billed separately and averages $5000 (detox, acupuncture, amino acids, 1 month follow up). All services are private pay only in order to protect our clients' anonymity and to ensure total confidentiality.
The facility looks more like a fancy inn than a rehab facility. Better still, its amenities include:
- jacuzzi with premium, imported spa products
- car with driver to local meetings
- personal assistant/companion, recreation coach daily
- off-site activities such as beach, whale watching, kayaking, gallery visits, shopping
Seeing the plush digs and luxurious amenities makes this facility seem like a comfortable place to explore uncomfortable truths.

For many people, drug abuse becomes chronic, with relapses possible even after long periods of abstinence. As a chronic, recurring illness, addiction may require repeated episodes of treatment before sustained abstinence is achieved. Drug Rehab is the process of treatment of people addicted with drugs. Drug rehab uses medicinal and non-medicinal based treatment methods.
