Why did you choose this facility?
|
|
Doctor's referal. Reputaion. |
|
Tell us about the experience - was it positive or negative?
|
|
Very positive. Careing staff. They take care of
everything to get in. call and say you need help
and they handle it all. Even lining up air and
transportation for out of state people.
Edible food. Different meal plan every day of
your stay and plenty of it. Plus snacks mid-day
and before bed.
Good detox unit; not a medical detox by any
means
but have on staff nurse's to administer Librium
so you don't have to cold turkey. Hook you up
with another patient the first day so your not
alone in the whole process.
Do the best they can to room people together
that
get along.
Help with getting you into clean & sober living
(Oxford House's)if needed. |
|
Do you feel the program was successful?
|
|
Very. They get you to outside meetings to begin
getting involved with 12-step programs. Two
group
sessions per day as well as lecture's educating
you on addiction. Total focas on recovery.
Lots
of breaks but little time to "think". They keep
you tuned into why you are there.
|
|
What advice would you give somebody considering going to this facility?
|
|
Want to be there. Do what they say even if it
doesn't make sense at the time. Totally open up
to the group. Don't be afraid to show emotion.
Don't lie and most of all do not embelish/brag
on
what you've done. Yor there to end that life,
not
glorify it and it doesn't help others or
yourself. Be good and respectful and after a
week
you can be moved from the main building to the
cottage's which makes it easier to get thru the
28 days....
Bring your own pillow and comforter.
Comfortable
clothes for there but some nicer cloths for out
side meetings.
Try to get your family/friends involved.
Visitors
help and the family service's they offer is
great. The workshops seem to be useless but
once
out it makes your family/friends feel like they
are a part of your recovery and they can better
support you.
