What is the process for drug and substance abuse rehab?
Question by Alex M: What is the process for drug and substance abuse rehab?
My friend has some drug problems with various drugs, none too crazy. She is looking into rehab but can’t afford it I try to be there but I haven’t really done drugs (pot twice but not my thing) so I haven’t experience such an addiction or relied on it let alone had a withdrawal so I was thinking if anyone who had any experience with drugs and/or rehab could help me out, explain the brief process of the professionals so I could have the ‘ladder’ on the rehabilitation process.
Thanks
Thank you. I know what’s out there, but I wanted to know what ‘I’ can do as a substitute for actually going to rehab, what we should talk about, methods to ease the withdrawal, etc etc.
Thank you.
She looked into going to real rehab but the local ones she can’t afford and any free ones are not possible to get to or some other reasons. So as a friend I want to help, here, as much as I can.

There are state funded programs as well as private and non-profit rehabs. Depending on the place she is most likely going to be evaluated and placed with a counselor given some materials to work on and start classes, and support groups. She will most likely have family day where you could come. Some programs last 30 days, some longer. Some are outpatient care ( which means she wouldn’t sleep over) Hope that helps.

Al-Anon can give you answers and support.
So can Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA). They will be highly familiar with resources in your area. They’re online and in the phonebook.
All counties have “free” services for patients in need of an inpatient program. Local taxpayers make it possible. She can get in for 14 days with that. Counselors at rehab can get her another 14 days if she needs it.
First she will have to go into detox for 3 to 5 days at the hospital. She can go through the emergency room department to be admitted. If she detoxes on her own she can expect misery bordering on insanity and all the symptoms of the flu for 5 days.
Trying to kick a habit alone rarely works, but there is success with AA, Al-Anon and NA. Inpatient rehab can speed up results and ensure at least a 14 to 30 day advantage..
