My experience with rehab for alcoholism….and I have been through a few since 1979….last one in 1994-95 and that was through VA and lasted 8 months.
One month psych
one month rehab
and another 6 months in program down at American Lake VA in Tacoma.
A lot of groups and lectures….
can be tiring
can be stressful
my best advice…..
Ditch your druggie friends….forever.
If you reject that advise you might as well not bother with rehab at all cause you will be back to drugging in a week.
Lay low until you get your feet on the ground.
Especially during “pink cloud” stage that often occurs early in recovery.
Find NA meeting and see what their experience with rehab has been…..
Better yet ….find good AA meeting.
When I was in rehab we went to a couple of NA meetings in Norfolk area…..
seemed there was a lot of tension in the NA meetings I experienced.
Every time someone would walk into room people would look bugeyed.
Like they were expecting somebody with gun in hand to come after them for old drug debt.
I am 59 and have not drank in 15 years
Have to sit and think about how many rehabs I have been in
One month psych…NJ…1979
one month rehab…NJ….1979
seven weeks rehab….VA…1985
one month psych……NY…1988
one month psych…Seattle…1989
one month psych …Seattle…1994
one month psych…Seattle…1994
one month rehab…Seattle…1994
6 months rehab…Tacoma…1994-95
not to mention a few detoxes…
some I recall…others I do not.
First two years sober I lived in AA Halls….
Parkland Hall near Tacoma
Fremont Hall in Seattle

There is no cure for addiction only treaatment and maintenance. In rehab you may have to go through withdrawals and detox as the substances clear out. Depending on how physically addicted you are this can get nasty but they can medicate you to tone down the symptoms to make you more comfortable.
You will look inside yourself with the help of counselors to find out why you abuse drugs and or alcohol. You will do written work, have lots of group counseling sessions with oher patients as well as AA meetings.
how long you stay in is usually determined by your insurance company instead of your doctor unfortunately. You will be discharged with a plan for follow up which usually involves outpatient care and 90 AA meetings in 90 days.
Hope this helps.
Tennis Elbow Treatment Warning! Braces May Slow Your Tennis Elbow Rehab [VIDEO]
Should your Tennis Elbow treatment include wearing a brace? Actually, NO – http://tenniselbowclassroom.com/tennis-elbow-treatments/braces-slow-tennis-elbow-r…
Well if you set your mind to it- you can do anything! Rehab will give you the tools to fix the problem but you will have to do the work! There is no instant “cure” but ongoing life choices and attitudes that need to change. You can really only do this sober so some people need some days away from it to find that – it takes about 2 weeks to change the way you do something. So give yourself the time and encouragement to do it!
Good Luck!
There is a cure for addiction, it is an every day effort like a job. No drugs for today equals success and you get to be proud of your effort. Rehab gives you what you need to help you manage your affairs (bills, rent, fines etc), but wont pay them for you, also rehab helps you to learn about temptation and how to manage it. Rehab helps you to develop your personality so that you will have more successful relationships and understand how your addiction affects other people, there are also anger management strategies to work with. You can learn why you turn/turned to drugs.
There is a cure, it’s called determination. If you don’t really want to get better, then you won’t. Rehab is where you go to be treated for an addiction. Most often these days treatment centers provide what is called “dual-diagnosis” treatment for co-occurring disorders. This is where you simultaneously undergo traditional rehab, and psychological evaluation/treatment. They do this to find the root of the problem. Drug use/abuse is frequently the result of, or the cause of an underlying psychological disorder. People sometimes turn to drug use to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, or similar situations. Other times people become depressed, or suicidal as a result of their drug use. But either way there is a co-occurring psychological disorder along with the drug use. Below I’ve included a link to more rehab FAQ’s.
*Should You Wear A Brace To Treat Your Tennis Elbow?*
http://tenniselbowclassroom.com/tennis-elbow-treatments/braces-slow-tennis-elbow-recovery/
Most medical websites, “experts” and blogs say you should wear a brace,
band or support for a few weeks: *”to help rest, protect and heal your
Tennis Elbow”*
And at first glance, it seems to make perfect sense, but the majority
happens to be wrong.
#TennisElbow is simply not the kind of injury that benefits from being
bound up and immobilized for days or weeks on end with any kind of brace or
“support” (with few exceptions)…
*Even if it FEELS better while you’re wearing one!*

Dude, learn how to be brief and shorten these videos up. You could very
easily impart the same information in half the time.?
Excellent advice. I suffered from tennis elbow for years and tried several
remedies but they prolonged my pain. I wound up inventing a device that I
called Elbow Ease that uses exercise to reduce and gets rid of the pain.?
Good info…..for some reason it keeps buffering on me thougg
All good. No more buffering. Was my connection
