In this March 24, 2010 photo, Alec Berry talks to residents at SHAR Inc., a residential treatment facility in Detroit. Berry, an 82-year-old U.S.-born Arab and Muslim, is planning to go to Saudi Arabia later this year and develop post-treatment programs if Brighton Hospital and Saudi Care finalize their consulting agreement in the weeks ahead. Brighton and Saudi officials speak regularly by phone and the proposed agreement calls for Brighton officials to visit the kingdom and provide guidance on design, construction, management and clinical services.  'They could see this is a very spiritual program that will fit in with Islam very easily — it's seamless, almost,' said Berry, an alcoholic who has been sober for more than 40 years and who has attended meetings at Brighton for years and credits the facility with assisting his own recovery.
