Why did you choose this facility?
|
|
Needed help, wanted help, and they offered help to
me immediately when I contacted them. |
|
Tell us about the experience - was it positive or negative?
|
|
I had a rather positive experience there. You have
to keep in mind that the facility is a rehab and
the people you are exposed to are all trying to
recover from active addictions. As long as you
remember that and use the tools they offer you
there to recover and not go there looking for a
boyfriend/girlfriend it will be a positive
experience for you. |
|
Do you feel the program was successful?
|
|
For me it was. I have ran into a few people
outside the rehab and some are doing well and
others not so well. I learned so much from the
program and at times was overwhelmed by the in
depth emotional roller coaster ride I was on. You
will most definitely walk out of rehab knowing
yourself a whole heck of a lot more than you did
when you went in!! This enables you to recognize
your triggers and to stay away from emotional
situations that will knowingly have you wanting to
"escape". Also, like with anything challenge you
decide to take on, it is only as successful as the
amount of work you put into it. Rehab does not
cure you, it just gives you the tools to enable
you to maintain recovery from your addiction.

What advice would you give somebody considering going to this facility?
|
|
The one thing that really struck me in there was
the amount of woman and men in there trying to
"hook up" with each other. TRUST ME....an addict a
few days out of active addiction is NOT long term
relationship material! Go in there, stay focused
on YOUR recovery, and PRAY!!! You are guaranteed
to continue using drugs and getting know where in
life if you don't go to rehab. If you do decide to
go.....You then have an opportunity to snag your
life back from the grips of self destruction. With
that think about all the people in your life that
you have impacted by your use. You have the chance
to gain back their trust, and give them hope
again. God Bless you on your journey!! Shelly
