Hi -
While I am not familiar with the group that you mentioned, there are several cults within the Catholic Church, most notably Opus Dei, Legion of Christ, Communion and Liberation and Focalare. Most of their activities do not seem to deal with drug rehab, but I know that Opus Dei has recruited people while they have been in drug rehab, like the economist Lawrence Kudlow. So, it would seem to me that it would be possible that a group could use drug rehab as a recruiting tool.
Also, it should be noted that the Scientology cult uses drug rehab programs (Narconon) as a form of recruitment.
