Below are some reviews from readers of the original printing in 2012. The One Dollar Rehab is engaging, entertaining, and to the point. This book "nails it", and demystifies the "how to" of working the program of recovery. Written in a no nonsense style that will appeal to newcomers and old timers alike, it is a "Home Run" of a book. I found it compelling and thought provoking. As one who has worked for more than 35 years professionally in the Alcoholism / Drug Addiction field as a Substance Abuse Counselor, Evaluator and Educator, I am very familiar with 12 step programs. DJ Allen masterfully but simply describes how anyone can achieve success on their personal journey to recovery. This book is sure to help all who read it and apply its message. Dick Mihalko drug and alcohol abuse counselor. The One Dollar Rehab is an enjoyable example of what successful 12 step recovery can be. DJ Allen displays a sense of humor that is greatly appreciated and rarely found in a book of this type. I laughed out loud and fought back emotions as I related to story after story. I liked it so much, I read it twice. Susan W. 20 years clean, 15 years drug and alcohol abuse counselor. The One Dollar Rehab forced me to look at 12 step recovery from a different view point.
