Why did you choose this facility?
|
|
Location- I live in Kitsap County |
|
Tell us about the experience - was it positive or negative?
|
|
For me, KRC was a place to get all the crap out
of my system so I could attend AA with a clear
head when i got out. KRC is a no frills,
structured environment that allows for little
leniency when it comes to the rules and
regulations. I learned a lot, but was so
mentally exhausted by the time I was ready for
rehab, I doubt I retained 1/4 of what was
presented. |
|
Do you feel the program was successful?
|
|
I tend to call treatment facilities "Head
Start." It's a great concept for those who need
to be removed from their home environment in
order to stay sober for a period of time, but
unless you are WILLING to jump right into a 12
step program and work it with all you've got,
it's just another way to appease the judge and
kill a few weeks' time. |

What advice would you give somebody considering going to this facility?
|
|
Expect to be called on your shit. Don't think
that anyone who works there has never met
someone like you, hasn't heard your story
before. Just because you are important to them
doesn't mean you are unique. Don't argue, do
what's suggested and stop trying to convince
everyone (including yourself) you don't have a
problem! If you're in rehab, chances are you're
an addict/alcoholic. Bring lots of smokes,
comfy clothes, and your favorite pillow. Leave
the drd=ama at home.
