Good Rehab Facility?

Hello Everyone
I know its late but I wondered if anyone can recommend a rehab facility? Location and money aren't an issue. I'm looking for the best of the best. I was lucky. I managed to get clean on my own but my brother is having a horrible time. He's in the medical field and has a raging addiction to dilaudid, versed, fentanyl etc. He's in terrible shape and imploding before my eyes. I took him to a rehab in south florida today and it was a disaster. He didn't like sharing a room, the clientele for lack of a better word, really he hated the whole thing.....lasted a whopping 4 hours and left against medical advice. The main problem I have with him is that he is in the medical field, he's very smart and he's certain he knows more than the doctors/counselors etc....and sometimes he sounds like he does but then again his knowledge hasn't exactly been helping him get better on his own.  I don't know what will please him and I'm grasping at straws. I also don't really know how to recognize a good rehab facility from a hack place. I need a place that is really top notch and where he can get the best treatment available. Doesn't matter where it is or what it costs. Particularly, I think he needs a facility that's good with dual diagnosis issues because I'm certain he has some underlying mental problems.  Any suggestions???
