Should drugs be legalized? Who's to blame for America's prescription pill epidemic? How should addiction itself be defined? We hear rumors and controversies about drugs every day—and so do you.

The Fix is teaming up with the Phoenix House to hold an open-to-all Twitter chat to separate the myths from the truth. It happens tomorrow, Friday May 11, 3-4 pm EST. We want you to get involved and share your views—and taking part is easy! Just log on to Twitter, follow @_TheFix and @PhoenixHouse and start firing out your answers to the questions we ask (make sure to include #drugchat in all your tweets, so everyone can keep up).

You'll be swapping ideas with expert participants like Dr. Paul Hokemeyer (@drpaulnyc, marriage and family therapist, and regular on the Dr. Oz Show) and Patty Powers (@sobercoachnyc, sober coach and writer, and regular on A&E's Relapse). Authors Nic Sheff (@nic_sheff, Tweak, We All Fall Down) and Sacha Scoblic (@sachaZscoblic, Unwasted: My Lush Sobriety) will also feature, as well as some excellent recovery and health-related organizations, like @healthyliving, @hickorywindrnch and @visionsteen.

We'll welcome friends from Phoenix House, including CEO Howard Meitiner (@hmeitiner), and a host of fascinating Fix contributors, including @TSmellsworth, @jeff_deeney and @guinevere64. And don't forget your ever-faithful Fix staff: @mrmikeguy, @joeschrank, @annadavid, @godfreywill, @hrslaton, @shutupmay, @justb_le.

Lock horns with any or all of them tomorrow. We'll see you there! #drugchat

The “beach-house-relaxed” Cliffside Malibu claims to provide an oasis for recovering addicts and alcoholics. And that’s just what you'll get—if you’ve got the cash.

Newport Academy
 
 
 
 
 

This SoCal rehab fosters a regimented but respectful recovery environment, where teens learn how to live sober through plenty of 12-step meetings and life-skills classes—not to mention "equine-assisted psychotherapy" and mixed martial arts.

Reflections
 
 
 
 

This exclusive Northern California rehab is all about client choice—as well as golf outings, Buddhist field trips and keeping up with the office.
