If you got the cash, you can find rehabs that treat you like royalty. But ordinary rehab places are pitiful. Supposedly the lot of them subscribe to the addiction-as-disease paradigm, but they treat patients like criminals; it's like a doctor standing over someone in the midst of a heart-attack, chiding the victim for all the fried food he ate.
If you want to avoid rehab, take a few weeks off work and get your husband to help you. Let him control your Ambien supply. If you could get yourself down to 5 or so pills a night that would be a success. You could probably live with that for a while, then concentrate on finding other ways to deal with the insomnia.
