What Exactly Happens in Drug Rehab?

Question by Jasmine: What Exactly Happens In Drug Rehab?
I’m writing a short story for a school assignment and it’s about a teen going to rehab for heroin addiction. Obviously in order to write this I need a little insight on what it would actually be like to be in rehab. Like what do they make you do right when you check yourself in, and what activities or therapies would you partake in, daily? Also what rules and such do patients need to follow. If anyone could give me any insight or share your rehab stories I would really appreciate it.
