“I relapse hoping I get in August 3rd day before my birthday”

“Sat there an asked me a multi question suicide questionnaire, then threw me out for being "suicidal". Stop all meds, and tried to have me 302d at a local hospital, that wouldn't even do it because I wasn't suicidal. Super boring, and confusing, because everything happens at certain times but there are no clocks. I guess just try to lie though everything, if you're honest they'll probably leave you stranded at the hospital with no ride.”

“The nursing staff are great some of the counselors generally want to help but others aren't addicts and only know what they've read about or seen so they don't really relate and some counselors and techs like to talk down to you like your scum. The people you meet are usually great people but it's 12 hours of group a day from 7am to 7pm every single day except weekends you start at 9 but the groups are VERY REPETITIVE and it wears you out..I can't sit that long listening to pointless lectures but if you can more power to you.. If I was asked to go back I definitely wouldn't”

“I was recently just there, it wasnt my first rehab. I do gotta say the staff is wonderful, the community is great guy. But the size of it is way to small for 30 grown men. Plus having detox and residential together kinda sticks. When u gotta do groups 12 hrs a day u want to be able to sleep with no interruptions. Untill there is a bed open ur stuck with a detox room and nurses come in at night for the detox ppl . So u rarely will get a good sleep without being interuped. Food wasnt the best and breakfest is the stuff in ur hiuse that you eat for snack ect all day long. Get kind old fast”
