Has anyone here gone to a long term rehab facility?

If so, would you tell me what it is like and what I might expect?

Thanks,

Are you OK Cindi?

I have a call into my psychiatrist.

She recommended at my first session that I take short term medical leave and check into long term rehab.

I have decided to do it. I am waiting to hear from her.

I was just wondering if anyone else has done this.

Cindi, I cant offer you any advice as I have never done it. But just know that my thoughts are with you and I really hope that this step helps you x

Because she feels it is my best chance at beating my addiction.

I am not doing well on my own.

Cindi, I haven't done that but just want to let you know I care about you and totally support your decision... whichever way you go on this one. I was considering something along those lines, when I came to MWO (I was really, really scared...). There are some really good facilities... I wish I knew more about which ones are considered "tops," these days...

Ah, Cindi. It pains me to see you struggle, girlfriend.

I was suppose to go to a long term rehab a few years ago. Do you know what I did and I absolutely DO NOT recommend it to anyone???? !!!!

On my way.... geesh - I am a 'tard! Well, I stopped off at a pub with a guy who (I met him in detox) picked me up to take me there (he was already a resident, on a weekend leave or whatever). Well, let's just say he never returned and I didn't make it. This is right after I was released from detox the 2nd time.

I am laughing right now, because after this long I laugh at these poor choices I made. It is how I get by without going nuts for being stupid. I had to share that with you.

Talk about a hard core drinker I was!

I totally support you in your decision. Actually, I am super proud of you. You are doing whatever it takes to beat this shitty addiction.

So proud, so proud! xoxoxoxo

Thank you, everyone, for your kindness and support.

I am scared to death of it, but have finally decided it is what I must do if I am ever going to get my life back.

Love,

I do know that statistically the longer the stay the better chances of long term sobriety. DO your research and pick one that suits your needs...whatever they may be. I hope you find a great one with great people that you trust and that you can learn from. I wish you all the happiness and health in the world. Make sure they also understand your complicated medical conditions as well.

Are you thinking a 90 day stay?

[Cinders]

Long Term Rehab Anyone?

Yes, I am thinking 90 days, if insurance will cover it. I hope and pray it does.

Love,
