Question: What has your experience in drug rehab like!? Did it work!?
My now ex is currently in treatment!. He left our home out of the blue, partied all of our moving money away and then cried and went to rehab!. I had a "counselor" call me a couple of hours ago that was kind of a jerk, he asked what I needed from my ex!. I was like, he could get his things, pay his bills, get his pets, let me move on!.!. the guy says "well, I don't think he cares about any of that stuff right now, he just needs to be clean"!. Uh!.!.!.what about real life!?!?!? He left me in a total bind and knows it!. The guy was like, can't he just come back and get his stuff at the end of the month when he gets out!? He owes me money too guy! Do they not care that the patient has abandoned their family!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think you have a right to be upset for everything that he did!. One thing that you have to understand is that when a person does drugs it is an illness!. And they will do things completely out of character!.

You don't have to pay his bills, take care of his pets or hold his property!. They called for him out of respect to you!. What is more important, his life or your being angry right now!. He did the right thing, you may not see that now but you will!. He would have have only made things worse for you if it continued!.

Give yourself sometime to cool off and you'll see the bigger picture!. I hope it works out for the both of you !.

Take care and don't give up!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly, rehab did me no good!. Talking things out in group and crap like that never helped me!. The only reason I have yet to run back to my old ways is because of the study I am currently in!. I get random drug tests until October and I don't feel like letting everybody around me down!. Sad i know, but the truth hurts!.

I just turn to alcohol now =/

Rehab sucked and I left more angry and depressed than before I went in!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can work, but really the best thing rehab did for me was introduce me to AA!.

If your ex gets serious about being sober, he will want to clear the wreckage of his past and take responsibility for the position he has put you in!.

Staying clean has to be his number one priority, but that is not an excuse to leave you in a bind!.

I don't know your situation but it will probably take time to straighten things out!.(I know that sucks), but I do hope your ex does stay clean and take responsibility for his mistakes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
