I am in a group dealing with psychology and we want to take some tours of places such as drug rehab facility or another facility of that sort and possibly get to talk with the patients. .ie sex rehab, eating disorders, mental illness, etc. Any help would be great.

I cannot even pretend to speak for these facilities, though I think you may run into a brick wall, here. Because of the nature of the function these facilities serve and the privacy issues involved, I doubt seriously that a ‘field trip tour’ will be granted. You can call such facilities in your area and ask, and I’ll just about guarantee that they will opt for sending someone with brochure-type information to your location to speak of their facility and it’s function/methods. No such facility will allow you mass contact with patients. Their patients are there being treated for a disorder, and thier focus on their rehabilitation is vital to the success of the program.

You might consider asking these facilities if they can recommend a graduate of thier program to lecture your class, but I truly believe that what you are asking is more than any reputable treatment facility is likely to consider appropriate.
