Rehab?.. what's in there?
818542
Rehabs vary widely in their length and scope of services - and costs. Most are like little worlds unto themselves, where the person who has checked themselves in goes through daily counseling, therapy, and support group meetings. Participants are usually prohibited from having communication with the outside world (via phone calls, emails, and/or visits) to a large degree, for obvious reasons. Rehabs can last from one week to a year or more, depending on the severity of the person's problem. People who enter long-term rehabs are usually pretty committed to recovery, as the experience is very costly, and difficult. Coming to terms with one's demons is a life-altering experience....one would hope, anyway.\n\nbtw, I am only aware of rehabs for substance abuse (drugs & alcohol). If the "anger management" thing you are referring to is Michael Richards, he is not going into a rehab. He is going for outpatient counseling. That's completely different than a rehab.

Please whatever you do, during and afterward, get counseling, and dont forget to apologize to the people you have hurt during your drug abuse.\nMaybe you could go to a nother town and get help?\nOr check your self into a program? Maybe it would be better to get away from your hometown while you detox. \ngood luck to you, glad you want to get off the stuff

Congratulations on your sobriety. I suggest you do puzzles and play word games. Some of it will come back but you need to work it.

Get a complete physical evaluation and see a professional for alcohol abuse. There is no "ONE" answer to this. Different people need different treatment. Some need medication, some need other things. Some need both. Don't go by what works for someone else when you need to have yourself evaluated. Hang in there!

I think this is all about finding the right set up for you sister.  There is no one solution that will work for everyone and you have to find the right one.  I know of an organization that might be able to help you.\n\nOn their website they say:\n"Obviously, choosing the right drug rehab is absolutely crucial to a successful rehabilitation. The ultimate goal of a drug rehab is to enable the individual to live a life free from the effects of drugs and therefore not going back on them.\n"Under the right circumstances, with the right treatment program, we have seen much success with the various programs we refer.\n"Full drug rehab is only possible with a full commitment from the addict, which the programs we have researched work hard to obtain."\n\nI urge you to try again, see if these guys can help.  They are very into connecting the person up with the right organization and really finding out what is happening with that individual.\n\nTheir website is at:\nhttp://www.addictionhelpservices.com\nPhone: (877) 554-7308\nEmail: info@addictionhelpservices.com

It is confidential, they won't tell you.  They will get phone privileges-depends on the rehab as to when they can call you.  Some places will let the patient put names on a list of people who can call them, but not all rehabs do that.  You may just have to wait for them to call you or get out.

It depends on the specific program. You need to ask your Voc. Rehab counselor about the program you will be participating in. What are you interested in doing? Note down a few things that you've always wanted to do, career-wise, and also discuss those with the counselor.

I would go for vitamins and fat fish.\n\nginseng works but it's more like a drug. Coffee would be a  more accepted addiction. There are also a lot of books that really work. (I know it sounds strange) Any training requires upkeep. So don't over do it. :P

I'm glad you're in good health. I wonder if you still have any rehab to go through. It took me a while to recover after a problem a few years back. MADD would probably be glad for you to briefly tell your story at one of their meetings. Maybe high school Driver's Ed. classes could use a word from you as well.

Its takes a while to be yourself again.  Some people are doing great within weeks while others take months.  A lot depends on pain tolerance and willingness to do rehab and exercises as ordered.  If you do not do your rehab it will take much longer and your are much more likely to develop complications such as pneumonia.  It would be very helpful to have someone around for a few weeks to assist you.

Rehab is for quitters

Most psychiatric hospitals have drug/alcohol units. Some regular hospitals do...I would check their first. If you lived in AR I could tell you some places.

A good friend of mine was an active heroin addict for many years, and had a few felonies and did some jail time as well-she went to 40 detoxes/drug treatment programs before finally getting clean.She got her record sealed, then went to nursing school, got her R.N. and now she is coming up on 20 years of recovery.She has been a Director of Nurses (in extended care)for the last 5 years,and is great to her employees as well as her residentsShe also was a single mom with twins who are now adults.She is a huge power of example to me!She is still active in a 12 step program and helps out alot of other women. She remembers where she came from and is very down to earth,too.

Absolutely!  I'm a Respiratory Therspist working in rehab and the staistics are too convincing.  The better educated a patient is about his/her disease process the better they are able to manage it rather than it managing them.  The type of rehab program you go thru is dependant on the disease process you have but they are have some common denominators.
