I had heard much of the controversy about Frey's making up all sorts of information for this book--lies about prior arrests, jail time, his broken childhood. In reading the book, I found virtually all of his experience in alcohol/drug treatment to be fictional (he, of course, won't release the info from Hazelden). I attended treatment a long time ago, and I can assure folks--this is simply not the way it happens. It's not only fiction, it's implausible.
