Why Are Alcohol Classes and Detox Centers So Expensive?

Question by gary: Why are alcohol classes and detox centers so expensive?
Seems like a monopoly of “health services” by the government. An alcohol class can cost around $ 200 and a night at a detox center is $ 495. A detox center is usually just a terrible hotel like place with no actual medical help. What are the cost paying for with these ‘services’?
