How Much Does Inpatient Rehab Cost?

If you or a family member is looking into inpatient rehab, one of your main concerns might be the cost. Rehab costs vary widely based on the facility, the length of stay, and the services offered. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect based on different types of rehab centers:

Basic Inpatient Rehab

Basic inpatient rehab centers typically include standard treatment programs. Shared rooms and fewer luxuries are usually included here. Such programs are formulated with the minimal essentials to support recovery, rather than featuring added comforts. Such programs cost between $2,000 and $20,000 per month.

Mid-Range Inpatient Rehab

Mid-range rehab centers will offer a much more customized approach to treatment. They will typically include some form of individual therapy sessions and upgraded accommodations. This way, you receive a better level of care within a relatively affordable budget. Normally, a mid-range inpatient rehab option falls within the $10,000 to $30,000 per month price range.

Luxury Inpatient Rehab

Luxury inpatient rehabs are the top-tier institutions that offer personal quarters, good dining services, and special privileges such as spa treatments and access to personal trainers and calming views of nature. Luxury services do not come cheap and can cost as much as $30,000 to over $100,000 per month.

Factors Influencing Cost

Another factor that determines the total cost of rehabilitation is the duration of your stay. Most rehabilitation programs are 30 to 90 days long, but some may require longer stays depending on one's condition and goals for recovery.

Insurance and Financial Assistance

Most plans offer coverage for some kind of rehab, but the coverage is case-by-case, determined by what your plan is and if the place you want to go has a network affiliation. Be sure to call your insurance provider to know what their policies are and if that rehab center accepts your type of insurance.

The best rehab facilities offer sliding scale fees or financial aid based on the recipient's income and need for it, especially if they are uninsured or experiencing economic hardship. Ask the rehab center for a payment plan or any financial aid available.

Conclusion

Inpatient rehab charges may range from a few thousand dollars to over 100,000 dollars per month, all being dependent on the level of care and treatment amenities, but most of these are covered by insurance. It is always important to check this information before entering the program so that one will be aware of the resources that could be accessed in helping one afford the costs of such a facility.

Being present in both ED and various addiction circles, I see people pretty often using relapse in a way that I think only acts as a self-flagellatory reaction to any mistake. Recovery/sobriety is difficult, and long, and painful, and it's impossible to get better without slipping up at some point. And I'll see people saying they relapsed because of one moment, and watching the momentum that the idea of moral failing that relapse carries be the thing that makes them start drinking or smoking or restricting again. This idea that you need to be perfect to recover is dangerous and harmful. It's not gonna happen. There's a reason why 2% of people fully recover from EDs, [https://doi.org/10.4088/JCP.15m10393] (I do think eating disorders are addictive, I guess that's probably debatable, but I think that my arguments here apply to traditional addiction anyway, and by talking about ED's I can bring up citations), it's because treatment centers don't do fuck all [https://doi.org/10.1002/erv.587] but take away access to your ability to feed to disorder, or to use substances, and then you're back in the treatment facility a month later [https://doi.org/10.1186/s40337-017-0145-3] because you slipped up once and everyone's been watching everything you do because they expect you to fail. We need a bit of room for mistakes if we're to get better. The word relapse I think is opposed to that idea, it's rooted in the ideas of addiction being a fundamental moral failing of the individual, rather than a failing of institutions and the moralization of health and substances.

what do u think about people using terms like relapse outside of addiction contexts? like relapsing into dating shitty boys again etc

i don't even use this language or disease model to talk about drug use, lol. charitably i think it most often comes up when people feel powerless over their own behaviours or desires, ie there's a mismatch between what they want and what they think they should want or want to want. tough position to be in & i certainly am not above it myself but i have never found the language of clinical intervention or moral lapse to be helpful, either in resolving this mismatch or in reducing stigma

christian universalism strikes again

(Reposted from Twitter)

So a rabbi I know came back from LA pretty jazzed about a Jewish addiction treatment facility there called Beit T'shuvah and so we talked about their approach and that got me curious about non-AA approaches to dealing with addiction which, my friends, was fascinating.

I’ll admit that almost everything I know about AA is more or less from The West Wing. I'm fortunate in that no one in my immediate family has dealt with substance abuse issues, and as far as I know, none of my close friends are alcoholics. My knowledge is pop culture knowledge.

But hearing about Beit T’shuvah was very interesting to me because:

I'd heard that a lot of people who aren't Christian have a hard time with AA because it's so Christian.

The difference in philosophy was subtle at first glance but actually paralleled a lot of the differences between Judaism and Christianity if you dug into it.

Anyway, I got curious about whether success rates were different for Christians vs. non-Christians and started googling. I didn't find much in the way of the data I was looking for, but I did find something a lot more disturbing, which is that the whole 12-step thing is not science-based. At all. For example:

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse compared the current current state of addiction treatment to medicine in the early 1900s, when there weren't a lot of standards for who could practice medicine. In order to be a substance abuse counselor in many states, you don't need much more than a GED or high school diploma.

A 2006 survey found "no experimental studies unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of AA or TSF approaches for reducing alcohol dependence or problems."

And I want to make clear here that I'm not saying AA is bad--clearly it's helped people. The problem is that it's touted as a universal approach, which is a problem when it's not based on any sort of actual science. 

AA claims that its success rates for people who "really try" are 75%. (And boy does that mirror gaslighting diet language.) But the most precise study out there that's NOT coming from AA (https://amazon.com/dp/B00FIMWI1O) put actual success rates at 5-8%. One of the major textbooks on treating addiction ranks it at 38th out of 48 on its list of effective treatments.

So just like most fad diets, it fails for almost everyone who tries it, and then blames the individual for its failure.

A glaring issue is that the 12 steps don't really acknowledge--or provide any guidance or structure for dealing with--other mental/emotional health issues. That’s a giant problem when people with substance abuse issues have higher than average rates of those issues. (Take a moment to consider how the victim-blaming approach of “if you didn’t succeed, it’s because you didn’t try hard enough” is going to intersect with someone’s major depression.)

Now, if 12-step programs were just one available treatment approach out of many, this wouldn’t be that big of an issue.

But 12% of AA members are there because of court orders. Our legal system is requiring people to undergo treatment that is: 

Christian-based

Not scientifically supported

A failure for the vast majority of people

I mean, here's a pretty comprehensive breakdown that talks about the lack of scientific support for it, alternative treatments (like those in Finland, and naltrexone), and the fundamentalist origins of AA. 

The founder was a member of the Oxford Group, an evangelical organization that taught that all human problems stemmed from fear and selfishness, and could be solved by turning your life over to divine providence, basically. Sound familiar? He based AA on those principles, and given that the only alternative was "drying out" in a sanatorium, and that AA members would show up at bedsides there and invite inpatients to meetings, it must have looked really enlightened to people. In 2022, it bears a queasy resemblance to evangelizing to people in prison, literally a captive audience. 

To be fair--to their credit--they were some of the first people out there saying alcoholism was a disease, and not a moral failing. But they didn’t treat it like a disease when it came to testing treatment options:

Mann also collaborated with a physiologist named E. M. Jellinek. Mann was eager to bolster the scientific claims behind AA, and Jellinek wanted to make a name for himself in the growing field of alcohol research. In 1946, Jellinek published the results of a survey mailed to 1,600 AA members. Only 158 were returned. Jellinek and Mann jettisoned 45 that had been improperly completed and another 15 filled out by women, whose responses were so unlike the men’s that they risked complicating the results. From this small sample—98 men—Jellinek drew sweeping conclusions about the “phases of alcoholism,” which included an unavoidable succession of binges that led to blackouts, “indefinable fears,” and hitting bottom. Though the paper was filled with caveats about its lack of scientific rigor, it became AA gospel.

And then Senator Harold Hughes, who was an AA member, got Congress to establish the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which promoted AA's beliefs, and sometimes suppressed research that conflicted with them:

In 1976, for instance, the Rand Corporation released a study of more than 2,000 men who had been patients at 44 different NIAAA-funded treatment centers. The report noted that 18 months after treatment, 22 percent of the men were drinking moderately. The authors concluded that it was possible for some alcohol-dependent men to return to controlled drinking. Researchers at the National Council on Alcoholism charged that the news would lead alcoholics to falsely believe they could drink safely. The NIAAA, which had funded the research, repudiated it. Rand repeated the study, this time looking over a four-year period. The results were similar.

The standard 28-day rehab stay, prescribed and insured:

Marvin D. Seppala, the chief medical officer at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Minnesota, one of the oldest inpatient rehab facilities in the country, described for me how 28 days became the norm: “In 1949, the founders found that it took about a week to get detoxed, another week to come around so [the patients] knew what they were up to, and after a couple of weeks they were doing well, and stable. That’s how it turned out to be 28 days. There’s no magic in it.”

The last sentence here (bolded for emphasis) is especially chilling. 

That may be heartening, but it’s not science. As the rehab industry began expanding in the 1970s, its profit motives dovetailed nicely with AA’s view that counseling could be delivered by people who had themselves struggled with addiction, rather than by highly trained (and highly paid) doctors and mental-health professionals. No other area of medicine or counseling makes such allowances.

There is no mandatory national certification exam for addiction counselors. The 2012 Columbia University report on addiction medicine found that only six states required alcohol- and substance-abuse counselors to have at least a bachelor’s degree and that only one state, Vermont, required a master’s degree. Fourteen states had no license requirements whatsoever—not even a GED or an introductory training course was necessary—and yet counselors are often called on by the judicial system and medical boards to give expert opinions on their clients’ prospects for recovery.

And, again, the idea that this is the One True And Only Way to deal with alcohol abuse leads to medical professionals ignoring research and treatment options that could be helping people. They are, in essence, taking all this completely on faith. 

There has been some progress: the Hazelden center began prescribing naltrexone and acamprosate to patients in 2003. But this makes Hazelden a pioneer among rehab centers. “Everyone has a bias,” Marvin Seppala, the chief medical officer, told me. “I honestly thought AA was the only way anyone could ever get sober, but I learned that I was wrong.”

Stephanie O’Malley, a clinical researcher in psychiatry at Yale who has studied the use of naltrexone and other drugs for alcohol-use disorder for more than two decades, says naltrexone’s limited use is “baffling.”

“There was never any campaign for this medication that said, ‘Ask your doctor,’ ” she says. “There was never any attempt to reach consumers.” Few doctors accepted that it was possible to treat alcohol-use disorder with a pill. And now that naltrexone is available in an inexpensive generic form, pharmaceutical companies have little incentive to promote it.

I'm not saying that AA is bad. I'm saying its hegemony is bad. It clearly is effective for some people--a minority of people. But it's not for the majority of people, and that's a problem when it's being prescribed by courts (and doctors) as if it's a one-size-fits-all approach.

It’s not an accident that a Christian approach to treating addiction presents itself as the One True Way For All Humankind, insists that courts and doctors privilege it, demands that people take its effectiveness on faith, and blames anyone for whom it doesn’t work for not believing/trying hard enough.

Hegemony is a problem.

the most worrying thing to me about the asylum aesthetic

aside from the clear co-opting of mentally ill and disabled people's historical abuses under a broken, underfunded, and at times deeply unscientific system....

is that mental healthcare available NOW can be a profound help, life changing AND life saving.

but the asylum/love made me crazy/'female rage' imagery of ttpd is provoking a lot of discussion about historical abuses and the actual benefits are getting somewhat lost in that discussion. (scientology, THE anti-psychiatry organization, must be thrilled.)

here are some facts about recovery under appropriate and professional help:

bipolar: "Shorter duration of illness, higher social class, and treatment compliance were associated with higher rates of recovery and more rapid recovery." (source)

borderline personality disorder: "One study found that 77% of participants no longer qualified for the DBT diagnosis [of borderline] after one year [of DBT treatment]" (source)

major depressive disorder: "Clinical and functional remission was achieved in 70.6% and 56.1% of the MDD patients, respectively." (source)

hospitalizations: "it can reduce the stress of daily responsibilities for a brief period of time, which allows you to concentrate on recovery from a mental health crisis. As your crisis lessens, and you are better able to care for yourself, you can begin planning for your discharge. In-patient care is not designed to keep you confined indefinitely; the goal is to maximize independent living by using the appropriate level of care for your specific illness." (source)

what is my point here? contributing to the STIGMA around psychiatric care, trying to couch mental illness in language of romantic shared mania (folie à deux) is not just giving 2005 myspace, it's inherently irresponsible. a 'recovery is possible' mindset is what saves lives and in the US, her home country, the stigma against seeking help works hand in hand with the systematic defunding of mental health care to dissuade people from achieving the recovery that can lead to abatement of suffering and transition into a life worth living.

here's my mental illness cheat sheet:

it's not romantic. it can be associated with creativity, but that's not guaranteed or inherent and may largely be a cliche that sidetracks real functional improvement: "Romanticizing the 'mad genius' myths surrounding bipolar disorder can also be harmful, and have negative consequences on your wellbeing and productivity." (source)

it's expensive as hell to treat, but under certain income thresholds in the US, Medicaid can pay for most if not all of the treatment you might need.

it generally leads to lower employment rates or underemployment but treatment leads to the best outcomes for employment and housing: "undertreatment can have a negative impact on occupational functioning" (source)

substance abuse is a conversation that can't be unlinked to mental illness and for some reason the US seems more ready to talk about that than the underlying mental health issues - because then an element of blame can be assigned to the individual for self-destructive behavior. but addressing the core mental health issues can certainly lead to recovery in other areas, when the substance use is linked to depression, anxiety, etc.

the US loves to talk about mental illness when gun violence occurs, but that doesn't mean those same legislators will vote to expand access to mental health treatment (source)

my #1 tip i have is this: if you don't have insurance or your insurance only covers a fraction of your psych inpatient bill, CONTACT PATIENT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND FILL OUT PAPERWORK TO SEEK A WRITE-OFF. instead of that $3000 bill you can leave owing $500 (or less). literally cannot emphasize this enough! the write-off is based on income so they will need to see your financials to assess what write-off(s) may be appropriate in your case.

peer support groups like National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) may hold meetings in your area where you can discuss your problems and relate to others' who may share some of your struggles. this is basically peer-led, FREE group 'counseling'. seriously, it's effectively nearly as good as the group sessions you might have to pay for, and the frequency is often weekly. (find support)

yes, we can talk about past historical psychiatric abuses and ongoing abuses today, which tend to disproportionately affect the socioeconomically disadvantaged. but the conversation needs to also include the benefits of access to scientifically-informed mental health treatment as well.

"Hi Lindy? I'm back."

- "Ah, excellent! Yes, like I said, my name is Lindy Farrow, and I work for The Rainbow Alliance. Are you familiar with our organisation?

"No, sorry, I can't say I am."

- "That's okay. The Rainbow Alliance is a mental health organisation aimed exclusively at LGBTQIA youth. We offer both residential and inpatient treatment for LGBTQ+ young people suffering from mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder or the effects of substance abuse. The Rainbow Alliance also visits schools, universities and youth centers around the country to spread awareness. Many of our clients tell us the lack of recognition and representation in the world around them was one of the things that made them feel like an outcast growing up. Your children's book offers a little bit of precisely that, and for that, we thank you."

Morgan smiled, "Thank you. I'm glad my book is seen as helpful."

- "Well, how would you like to be even more helpful? TRA also has a publishing department. Up until now we've mostly released non-fiction books, but we are looking to expand our collection. We would like to arrange a meeting with you to talk about the option of writing more fictional books, which could be beneficial for LGBTQ+ youth. Is that something you'd be interested in?"

"Oh! Er.. Yes, that sounds very interesting. I would love to meet with you."

-"That's great! Is next Wednesday at 2 pm an option for you? We can meet in Honeycomb Valley."

"Um, yes, that should work."

- "Thank you so much, Morgan; I'll email you the details."

"Okay, thank you."

Morgan hung up her phone and looked at it, still a little stunned.

not to be dark but do you think Sasha ever tried to khs (other than the canonical attempt)

YES 1000%. I think it happened after amphibia when even though Anne & Marcy forgave her, she still felt nothing but guilt and emptiness from the sheer trauma going through amphibia + a whole ass war at the age of 13. I think it may have happened in high school because throughout the end of middle school she tried to stay strong for Anne & Marcy (because after all she does take it upon herself to be “the strong one” who doesn’t need any support or love), but after Marcy moved and Anne and her drifted apart, she struggled with the act of being “normal” and having to live life as a normal teenager after everything she’s been through. I think her body started failing her (because there’s literally no way she’s 100% physically unscathed after the injuries and damage she took in amphibia, not even mentioning things like fibromyalgia that develop because of emotional trauma). I also think it may have been the catalyst to her dedicating her life to psychology. She always wanted to help people like her post amphibia, but she never quite knew how to do it. But when she was in the hospital and maybe the psychiatric ward (California has really strict laws on inpatient treatment following a suicide attempt), she started to realize that maybe psychology was the way to go about her need to help people. I don’t think she would have gone to therapy on her own BUT I think going to therapy might have been a requirement for her release from the hospital (as it often is, esp in patients who are minors and esp patients with complex trauma and mood/personality disorders) and as she went to ordered therapy, she realized therapy really helped her and continued going after the hospital ordered time ran out. I think she continues to go to therapy throughout her adulthood (I’m split on whether or not she tells her therapist about amphibia because frogvasion WAS on the news BUT the Marcy journal implies that a few years after people generally think it was a hoax/movie stunt or promo gone wrong so idk if a therapist would take that seriously without sending her back to the mental hospital) but she definitely goes to therapy for her obvious attachment issues and mental illnesses and other traumas (such as her parents divorce and especially because her parents both got into new relationships and left her stranded and alone at a young age). I think she struggles with a long battle with mental illness both pre, during, and post amphibia aaaaand (you didn’t hear it from me because last time I talked about this I almost got canceled) I think there’s a very real possibility that at some point in her life she struggled with substance abuse/addiction or disordered eating/eating disorders due to her need for control, escapism (less than Marcy but it’s still there), self destructive behaviors, and general addictive personality and tendencies.

A man charged with fraud for claiming to own a storied Manhattan hotel where he had been living rent-free for years has been found unfit to stand trial, prosecutors said Wednesday. Doctors examining Mickey Barreto deemed he’s not mentally competent to face criminal charges, and prosecutors confirmed the results during a court hearing Wednesday, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. Judge Cori Weston gave Barreto until Nov. 13. to find suitable inpatient psychiatric care, Bragg’s office said. Barreto had been receiving outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues, but doctors concluded after a recent evaluation that he did not fully understand the criminal proceedings, the New York Times first reported.

Detox Treatment for Different Substances: A Comprehensive Guide to Recovery in Indiana

Detoxification is the first critical step in overcoming addiction, whether it's to drugs, alcohol, or other substances. At Addiction Treatment Center Ladoga, Indiana, we offer a range of detox services tailored to different substances, including alcohol, opioids, marijuana, and more. Detox treatment provides a safe, medically supervised environment where individuals can begin their recovery journey with professional support.

In this blog, we’ll explore the different types of detox treatment available at our Detox Treatment Indiana facility, how they help manage withdrawal symptoms, and why they are an essential part of any comprehensive addiction recovery plan. Whether you're seeking Residential Treatment Indiana or Inpatient Treatment Indiana, understanding the detox process will help you make an informed decision about your treatment options.

What is Detox Treatment?

Detoxification, or detox, is the process of clearing harmful substances from your body and managing the withdrawal symptoms that occur when you stop using or drinking. Detox treatment is essential for those who have developed physical dependence on substances, as the body needs time and medical care to safely rid itself of the substance.

The goal of detox is not just to stop using the substance, but to begin healing physically and mentally, preparing individuals for the next step in recovery. Detox Treatment Indiana provides a safe space where patients can receive medical supervision to help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and prepare for a smooth transition into Residential Treatment Indiana or Inpatient Treatment Indiana.

Detox Treatment for Alcohol

Alcohol detox is one of the most common forms of detox treatment. When someone who has been drinking heavily for a prolonged period suddenly stops drinking, they can experience a range of withdrawal symptoms. These can range from mild to severe, including:

Anxiety

Tremors

Sweating

Nausea and vomiting

Seizures (in extreme cases)

Alcohol detoxification requires medical supervision because of the potential for life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, particularly in individuals with long-term alcohol dependence. Substance Abuse Treatment Indiana centers, like Addiction Treatment Center Ladoga, Indiana, provide medically assisted detox programs designed to keep individuals safe throughout the withdrawal process.

Detox Treatment for Opioids

Opioid addiction has become a national epidemic, and detox from opioids (including heroin, prescription painkillers, and synthetic opioids like fentanyl) is often necessary to help individuals begin their recovery journey. Opioid withdrawal can be intense and may include symptoms such as:

Muscle pain and stiffness

Insomnia

Anxiety and depression

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

Intense cravings

Detox Treatment Indiana for opioids is usually medically managed with medications that can ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Buprenorphine and methadone are two commonly used medications in opioid detox to help reduce the intensity of withdrawal and cravings. Once the detox process is complete, individuals are encouraged to transition into Residential Treatment Indiana or Inpatient Treatment Indiana, where they can begin addressing the psychological aspects of addiction.

Detox Treatment for Stimulants

Stimulants like cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants can be highly addictive. Unlike alcohol or opioids, stimulant withdrawal is not typically life-threatening but can be extremely challenging to manage. Symptoms of stimulant withdrawal include:

Fatigue and lethargy

Irritability and mood swings

Anxiety or depression

Intense cravings

Difficulty concentrating

Although stimulant detox does not require medication, Detox Treatment Indiana provides a safe environment where individuals can receive counseling and emotional support to help them through the process. Medications may also be prescribed to manage anxiety or depression that may arise during the withdrawal period.

Detox Treatment for Marijuana

While marijuana is often considered less harmful than other substances, it can still lead to dependency, particularly for individuals who have been using it heavily over long periods. Marijuana withdrawal symptoms are generally less severe than those associated with alcohol or opioids but can include:

Irritability

Anxiety

Insomnia

Decreased appetite

Cravings

Detox Treatment Indiana for marijuana usually involves providing emotional support and guidance to help individuals cope with withdrawal. Though marijuana detox is often less intensive than detox for other substances, it is an essential first step in a comprehensive recovery plan.

The Importance of Residential and Inpatient Treatment After Detox

After completing detox, many individuals find it beneficial to continue their treatment in a Residential Treatment Indiana or Inpatient Treatment Indiana setting. Detox addresses the physical aspects of addiction, but Residential Treatment Indiana and Inpatient Treatment Indiana focus on healing the emotional and psychological effects.

In a Residential Treatment Indiana program, patients live in a supportive, structured environment where they can focus entirely on their recovery. Therapy options in residential programs include:

Individual Counseling: One-on-one sessions to explore personal struggles, triggers, and goals.

Group Therapy: A supportive space to connect with others who are going through similar challenges.

Family Therapy: Involving loved ones in the recovery process to repair relationships and build a strong support network.

Inpatient Treatment Indiana offers a more intensive level of care with 24/7 supervision, ensuring that individuals receive continuous support and treatment. Whether you’re dealing with substance abuse, mental health disorders, or both, Addiction Treatment Center Ladoga, Indiana offers the care and resources you need to stay on track during your recovery journey.

Why Choose Addiction Treatment Center Ladoga, Indiana?

After detox, continuing treatment in Residential Treatment Indiana or Inpatient Treatment Indiana offers the structure and therapy needed to address the psychological aspects of addiction and set individuals up for long-term success in recovery.

NEW YORK (AP) — A man charged with fraud for claiming to own a storied Manhattan hotel where he had been living rent-free for years has been found unfit to stand trial, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Doctors examining Mickey Barreto deemed he's not mentally competent to face criminal charges, and prosecutors confirmed the results during a court hearing Wednesday, according to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office.

Judge Cori Weston gave Barreto until Nov. 13. to find suitable inpatient psychiatric care, Bragg's office said.

Barreto had been receiving outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues, but doctors concluded after a recent evaluation that he did not fully understand the criminal proceedings, the New York Times first reported.

Barreto dismissed the allegations of a drug problem to some “partying,” and said prosecutors are trying to have him hospitalized because they did not have a strong case against him. He does see some upside.

“It went from being unfriendly, ‘He’s a criminal,’ to oh, they don’t talk about crime anymore. Now the main thing is, like, ‘Oh, poor thing. Finally, we convinced him to go seek treatment,’” Barreto told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Brian Hutchinson, an attorney for Barreto, didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. But during Wednesday's hearing, he said he planned to ask his client's current treatment provider to accept him, the Times reported.

In February, prosecutors charged Barreto with 24 counts, including felony fraud and criminal contempt.

They say he forged a deed to the New Yorker Hotel purporting to transfer ownership of the entire building to him.

He then tried to charge one of the hotel's tenants rent and demanded the hotel’s bank transfer its accounts to him, among other steps.

Barreto started living at the hotel in 2018 after arguing in court that he had paid about $200 for a one-night stay and therefore had tenant’s rights, based on a quirk of the city's housing laws and the fact that the hotel failed to send a lawyer to a key hearing.

Barreto has said he lived at the hotel without paying any rent because the building’s owners, the Unification Church, never wanted to negotiate a lease with him, but they also couldn’t legally kick him out.

Now, his criminal case may be steering him toward a sort of loophole.

“So if you ask me if it’s a better thing, in a way it is. Because I’m not being treated as a criminal but I’m treated like a nutjob,” Barreto told the AP.

Built in 1930, the hulking Art Deco structure and its huge red “New Yorker” sign is an oft-photographed landmark in midtown Manhattan.

Muhammad Ali and other famous boxers stayed there when they had bouts at nearby Madison Square Garden, about a block away. Inventor Nikola Tesla even lived in one of its more than 1,000 rooms for a decade. And NBC broadcasted from its Terrace Room.

But the New Yorker closed as a hotel in 1972 and was used for years for church purposes before part of the building reopened as a hotel in 1994.

Kandis Rose Harris has been missing since July 2021. The then-17-year-vanished in Salt Lake City, Utah. At the time of her disappearance, Kandis was enrolled in an inpatient substance abuse program at a facility called the Odyssey House. On July 15th, 2021, Kandis hopped the fence of Odyssey House and never returned. Her loved ones have never seen or heard from her again. Kandis had been a ward of the state of Utah for about a year before she vanished. She had run away from multiple treatment centers - including the Odyssey House - several times throughout that year. However, Kandis was always eventually located and sent back.

After leaving Odyssey House during July 2021, Kandis stayed active on social media for four days before all of her online activity ceased. At that point, fears for her safety increased. It was believed that Kandis was using a burner phone/device to access social media during this time, as she was not allowed to have a phone while at Odyssey House. The phone she had prior to going to Odyssey House yielded no clues to her whereabouts.

There have been a few possible sightings of Kandis around Salt Lake, but none of them have been confirmed. Early into the investigation, authorities explored the possibility that Kandis fell victim to human trafficking - as she had been trafficked before in the past. It's unclear if this is still a prominent theory in the case.

Years have passed, and Kandis still remains missing. The Salt Lake City Police Department is investigating. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact the department at 801-799-3000.
