The rehab thread.......

[alowishus]

For the ones that have been, state or private, by court order or by self admin. let's hear your stories, any you want to tell or just the good ones I KNOW you have them.
Rehab romance, new hook ups, roomy droppin' dead, or jumpin out the window for a 4th of july party down the street.

BTW all the above happened on my stay, sex in teh shower (yes it was a female), on my 2nd day my roommate died, he used too drink about 8 gallons of cheap wine a day, was yellow and smelled REAL FUCKING BAD, then I could hear this party on the 4th, well I was young and had too go, they left the drain for me to climb down and up again.:D

I was too young to really use the new found info I gathered, but as I think back, that was the LAST place they should have sent me. It's just like the jail thing, a young petty crook goes in and comes out a hardened career thug w/ more contacts then before. :rolleyes:

[george123]

The most memorable rehab so far in my life was Pemarro, in Ramona, California. I was given a year sentence in county jail, but the judge let me spend 8 months of that in rehab. This had nothing to do with Proposition 36, (I was in jail for death threats) rather my lawyer somehow convinced the judge that I was an addict, i needed treatment blah blah blah. I don't know how often this works. Well anyways, the rehab was an upscale, new-agey, somewhat religious (spiritual my ass!) place for addicts with money. However, there were some exceptions. One guy, who was paroled into the rehab after serving 5 years for armed robbery, was a proud member of the Aryan Brotherhood who took delight in intimidating the staff and the addicts alike. Technically we were not supposed to mingle with the females, but this guy had a girlfriend there, and they regularly had sex in the batroom. I think the staff knew what was going on, but they were so intimidated by the guy that they just let it go. We went to AA every night, (I never shared), and in addition to the typical drug recovery and education videos we watched a fair amount of Oprah, Joseph Cambell, and movies about the native americans. Oh yeah, we also had "Men's Group" with this black counselor who was also a minister, who loved to tell the story of the days when he put sixty dollars of freebase into a pipe melted it down, inhaled, and then ejaculated. He told us this story every week! He also made the Aryan Brotherhood guy read articles on the achievements of African-Americans..which was funny and kind of cool. Everyone who ended up there got some kind of psychiatric medication, which was kind of weird.

[alowishus]

Holt shit, nobody else has been to rehab.

Bunch of bubblegummers. :rolleyes: :p

[nick]

Sorry bro,but I haven't had the dubious pleasure of that kinda rehab.

The only state funded rehab in leeds was closed down because there was more dope inside than was on the street-which in Leeds was quite an achievment.

[HeidiW]

Nick, can I come hang out with you so we can try to find that place in Leeds??:D

[nick]

It's sadly long gone,but ain't no shortage of dope here.Hell up the road about 30-40 miles in Middlesborough you can cop g's for $40 and 1/8 of an ounce goes for $100.

Pounds or dollars?

[HeidiW]

help me get that passport and I'll steal a helicopter from the nearby military base and be there in the morning, that sound good to you?

[nick]

That's $$$$ I converted at 1.8-1 (which was the exchange rate in November)

Heidi you'll need me-you'll never understand the accents otherwise,but I'll be happy to tranlate and act as guide.

It's worth noting that dope is so cheap in Middlesborough because it's a real hell hole.It's not somewhere you'd go for the food or weather,but at those prices who cares about food or weather.

[alowishus]

That's $$$$ I converted at 1.8-1 (which was the exchange rate in November)



Got Dam you are bored and sober.

[HeidiW]

Nick I was in London in 1988, along time ago yes, but I'll stop at your place, no doubt I want YOU as my guide when I go on my foreign binge, you just have that diamorphine ready for me when I land the Blackhawk in your front yard. I'll bring some xanax and cook ya a good steak dinner, BOOYAH!!!!!!!!

[nick]

Sister H,I'll gather supplies and saddle the ponies.

Alow,yes bro very bored.It's 3.40 am here and I can't sleep-again.Still good practice for junior' arrival.

[HeidiW]

Nick, I've got horses here on Dad's farm, can I fit the horses in the helicopter?

[nick]

Try,we can always use more horses-we might be able to trade them with the natives.

How many g's for a horse?

[HeidiW]

depends on if you want a work or show horse, what's your pleasure? We got thoroughbred's and quarterhorses and buckskins, I'll take the buckskin any day.

[nick]

Buckskins it is then.I'm very fond or horses there's 4 in a field near here-if I'm passing I'll take them some polos(mints) they like that and come right over when they see me.

[HeidiW]

yes we'll go play polo with prince charles and camilla, shit you think they got any good dope?

[youwonhundred]

Well, now, if we are going that route, I want in. I happen to live near Nellis, so hopefully I could snag a C-130 so there'd be room for the horses. Plus I got about a hundred hours in single engine, so I might even be able to fly the fucker.:p

[nick]

yes we'll go play polo with prince charles and camilla, shit you think they got any good dope?

It would explain A LOT if they did.I suspect they're more your gin and tonic crowd,but who knows they could be into dope orgies.

[HeidiW]

yep that transport plane is the ticket, I'll get the horses, you pick me up out in the middle of Kansas on I-70 near Abilene in 30 minutes, and don't forget to bring the revolution mascot, I'm gonna cross breed him with my hamster and we'll start a new race of rodents and live happily ever after in England. Sound good to you??

[alowishus]

Plus I got about a hundred hours in single engine, so I might even be able to fly the fucker.:p

I'm gonna need a lot of drugs before I get on that plane. It's ok to take off and fly but it's the landing part I'll need them for.

[nick]

sounds like a good plan.

Got go try and sleep(I'm a wimp) it's 4.15am here and I have to be up at 8-but I'll get up when I here the helicopter-night Sis.

[youwonhundred]

Sound good to you??


I'm totally down with that. Also, you mentioned Abilene, KS, which fit in perfectly with the song I am listening to (Loser, by the Dead) I was reading the annotated dead site, and the song refers to the city in kansas, as opposed to Texas.

The hamster is ready to go, and so'm I. Now we just gotta figure out how to snag one of them big fuckin planes.

SUPER RODENTS FTW!!!


Oh damn right Alow, I will need a shitload of dope to even think about flying a plane that big, the landing might be a bit rough. Are we gonna land in Nicks driveway or what?

[HeidiW]

yes or on the lawn of westminister abbey so we can go get high with camilla , Nick said she might have some good dope, who knows???

I'll bring my neil young and yardbirds cds to play on the plane, got a new box of spikes and plenty of dillies:D

Sounds like a damn good plan. If I manage to get the laptop I want, I'll load up my music collection too, we wouldn't have to listen to the same song for almost 2 months.

[oxymoron]

damn you guys know how to plan a vacation, the right way:)

[HeidiW]

oxymoron, you want to come along, what can you contribute to this soiree?
(good dope and money needed, NO donations turned away)

[youwonhundred]

Wow, at this rate, the planes gonna be full of junkies, dope, horses and computer equipment. I hope there's a long ass runway near nicks place.

Oh wait, does this have to be a vacation? I don't wanna come home, ya dig?

[HeidiW]

me neither won. It's shit or get off the pot time. that plane is fucked, how will ya get 'er off the ground?

[oxymoron]

oxymoron, you want to come along, what can you contribute to this soiree?
(good dope and money needed, NO donations turned away)

I have no drugs at the moment, but would be happy to contribute a few $100, plus I'd be willing to help out with the cooking duties (I'm a damn good cook). I'll bring a couple kegs of beer too:D

[HeidiW]

[youwonhundred]

Best bring some whiskey too, oxy dude.. Beer just runs straight through me. Its like.. drink it, and two hours later, as if by magic, it turns into piss. I'm willing to help out with the cookin too, but you gotta clean the grill. I had a bad experience doing that once. Still payin for it too.

[oxymoron]

hell ya can you cook dope too?????

Nope, no dope, strictly food. Speed sucks anyhow

[youwonhundred]

But damn we wandered off topic like a motherfucker here. We oughtta use the chat or something.:p

[oxymoron]

[HeidiW]

[alowishus]

Of course you're invited, but I gotta fly the plane, and Heidi already called shotgun. Even if she didn't, she's more pleasant to look at, know what I'm sayin? :p

[trainwrecker]

I hate to be the dork to bring the thread back on topic, but I have some memorable rehab experiences. It was in Brighton, MI and wasn't an all together negative experience, of course I did start using the day I got out.
It was mostly rich drunks and junkies, with good insurance and a few state funded street type people. My room mate was a crack smoker from the east side of Detroit who was in there for the 7th time, all night long he talked to himself and I swear some of the shit he said... I feel bad repeating the shit he was saying because it was so crazy, and in such a heavy ghetto dialect I probably misheard much of it.
It was kind of like summer camp, or how I imagine it would have been. And the food was fucking excelent, I ate so much, gaine a ton of weight. It did suck though, the itenirary was quite tireing; tons of groups and sessions and meetings and this and that; constantly doing shit.
I was quite comfortable though, comming off a pretty hellish H habit, with the help of suboxone. But thats the thing, the day I got out I didn't get any more sub and I felt like shit and went right out and scored. It was very AA/NA oriented and we were supposed to do 90 in 90, but I only went to very few meetings when I was out.
There was a good amount of rehab romance, I didn't participate, but I think a number of people were kicked out for fucking eachother. The funniest shit though was this dude who smuggled a fishing pole into the place(there was a pond on the grounds) taped to his leg and we would skip group and fish, caught mostly carp and bluegill.
I came away with the experience with something though, I may not have figured out competely yet what that was, but there was value in it. There were a ton of interesting people, could have made a million new hookups if I tried, only came away with a few. They let me play the piano instead of going to group occasionally and I would start each mornings meeting with a song. It was pretty cool that they let me do that.

I knew there wasn't just two of us.

[HeidiW]

sorry for fucking up the thread

[youwonhundred]

sorry for fucking up the thread

At least we made it amusing. Anyway, I actually DO have a rehab story. I was like 18, so any statute of limitations shoulda run out by now. :p

Anyways, it goes like this, my folks decided to stick me in rehab, for whatever reason (thats a whole 'nother story, and it would take too damn long to tell it) and because I was 18, the bastards in rehab decided to commit me when I decided I wanted to leave. Long story short, I ended up trying to "escape" twice in the same day. First time, I just took a walk. Got caught, and dragged back. The second time, I called my mom and sis, and told em to roll around behind the building to the smoking area. And my big ass decided to go over the fence and head for the car. Some bastard counselor tried to grab my foot as I was goin' over, and he got his face stepped on with a size fourteen for his trouble. Fuckin bastard. Just so you know, the first thing I wanted when I got out was a shot of dope.

[HeidiW]

Oh man. I do have a rehab story. My grandparents sent me to the finest rehab in KS, Valley Hope, $24,000.
anyhow this was right after I started shooting coke and wasn't even thinking about trying to get clean. the dude that got me on the needle (kind of) showed up and we were shooting dope in the parking lot in a corvette, someone called the cops on us, how we didn't get arrested is beyond me.
I was 17, and got kicked out, this was the 5th day of 30. I will never forget the look on my dad's face when he picked me up. Not to mention my grandparents didn't get none of their money back:(

[george123]

Ok I have one more. My first rehab type experience was in Trenton, Alabama, at this place called Three Springs at age 16. It was a private "oudoor theraputic boot-camp" and it was basically a place where rich folks sent their misbehaving/drug using kids, to perform meaningless labor and be manhandled by sadistic counselors who were getting not much above minimum wage. They had interesting punishments for everything you did, one example was that you had to wear socks on your hands for a week if you were caught jacking off. As for drug counseling, it was very basic and it seemed to just get the kids interested in drugs. I was somewhat a "cool" dude during the drug counseling meetings because I tried cocaine and speed by then, and most of the kids there were from rural backgrounds who I guess only heard of that shit on TV. The place was really fucked tough, since that time I've been to group homes, juvenile hall, jails, but that Alabama experience was the worst out of all of them

Theraputic boot camp I think that's a conradiction in terms if ever there was one.

Rather you than me man.

[alowishus]

See I knew there was more of those stories out there.

[Sitar]

George123, that place sounds so fucked up.

How would they catch someone jerking off, and why in the world would they punish someone for that?!

Not only are the people there teenagers but many of them are coming off drugs. That's just a recipe for heavy masturbation right there! Nothing wrong with that. You gotta have some fun in rehab.

[george123]

Man believe me, this place WAS fucked up. Counselors beating up the kids, hours and hours of meaningless labor, five hours of sleep a night on an average, having to march in a line formation everywhere. And speaking of masturbation, the counselors decided that one kid had a "problem" with doing it too much, so as a punisment he had to carry a shovel and toilet paper with him everywhere he went, and when he had to take a shit, he had to go into the woods dig a hole, and take a shit in it. People don't believe me when I tell them of the shit that went on and I presume still is going on there, but you can't make this stuff up.

This "rehab" sounds strangely like my boarding school.Although we all left using-wouldn't you?

[alowishus]

This "rehab" sounds strangely like my boarding school.Although we all left using-wouldn't you?

I was gonna say sounds like a SHOCK program for youth O-fender here in the states.
Or just your average, everyday state run rehab. :rolleyes:

In my stay when they did the "interveiw" they told me what I was taking and what kind of a drug addict I was, of course all I did then was somke weed and drink, but accordin' to ma "clown-sir'ler" I was a crack head, never even seen the shit before, but I was in de'nile, and sent to detox for 2 weeks where I was givin' my 1st oip's and benzo's...:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

What a fucking joke.

Then we all had to write down our life stories and tell them to the group, ya know how low you'd sunk, hit bottom, all that shit, well because I didn't cry while I read mine and the fact that I wasn't suckin dick for a bag of weed, or using my kids food money for cheap wine at age 19-20, drinking rubbing alcohol, etc, (the fact was I was drunk when I was arrested for fucking a girl a cop liked, He and I were friends up til that point, he found me on the strip w/ a paper cup w/ rum and coke in it, he asked if it was alcohol, I said yeah, he said dump it, I guess I wasn't quick enough for him - he smack it out of me hand, in a slow calm nice friendly way (he was my friend) I put my hand on his shoulder and said OK relax, I woke up about 30 min. later after he and two of his friends beat the crap out of me for assault and battery on a police officer, my other friend I was w/ got arrested also, he grabbed the 4th cop and would let him go, wish I could have seen that, my friend was in the super heavy weight class:D )

Anyway the rehab kicked me out, cuz I wasn't trying.

At Phoenix house in London they made my S.O. wear signs reading "I'm a worthless drug addict" and for variety "I'm an idiot".
Now both statements maybe true,but I don't see the theraputic value in trashing someone-bastards.

Did she have to go out in public like that, or just around the house? Either way, it would suck.

i have been to 6 rehabs since the age of 13 (im 24 now) one of them was a psych ward in san antonio texas called laurel ridge. has a very bad reputation and i saw things that i still have nightmares about. rehab is worthless unless the person wants to quit. being forced into a rehab is pure bullshit. its just like jail. you come out later with more knowledge about drugs and every negative aspect that comes with it than you had before you went.

[george123]

Yes, you have to want to quit, it definitely helps. The other day I was watching this 48 Hours segment on the "meth epidemic" and this fuckwad from the probation deparment was saying "yes, we have to hold the threat of jail over the heads of these addicts, othervise they will never quit." This is the same logic that's behind all the "rehab instead of jail, back to jail if you fuck up" laws. I intern at one of these facilities for court mandated clients and the overwhelming majority of them don't stay clean.

That.. is just fucked up, man... I woulda worn the "I'm an idiot" sign just for fun, and hope someone said "Your village called, you're supposed to go home immediately."

And with that, taken my leave of the place. Rehab just ain't for me. I don't want to quit anyway. That miight change in ten years, but I kind of doubt it.

[HeidiW]

Yeah, alot of good 10 rehabs did for me.

Rehab sucks-unless you actually want to go and even then it still sucks.

[epik022]

my rehab story starts in chandler, az at a place called "chandler valley hope". the best thing about it was that it was a "sign-out" rehab in which we could leave at periods of up to 2 hours. this really didn't make any since to me since i was forced by parents to go to rehab for my little heroin addiction so they decided to drop the 20K that it costs to attend this fine facility.
anyway there were many girls there my age in which we got to hang out with in each others rooms, we weren't supposed to but obviously a bunch of addicts together will break the rules, and yes i did get laid when i was there. to make a shitty story short i only stayed for 23 days because they were popping random UA's on people to see if we were using while we were there. me and my roommate were scoring dope every other day and we both eventulley got kicked out.
how can they expect people not to use if they are forced to go there and they let you leave any time you want too?
well that my only one....may there never be another

telling my parents was one of the most relieving things i have ever done. my parents are definitley right wing republicans and very conservative. when i told them there were relieved they finally knew what was up with me and they were very supportive of getting clean. so they spent the $20,000 on rehab and now know that i was a heroin addict.

when i told them i wasn't completely ready to quit, now i am riding the horse once again but trying to be as constructive as possible which keeps me sane and parents still believe i am clean since i am going to school full time and working part-time and keeping good grades.

The problem is, is that they CONSTANTLEY ask me if i am using and who i am hanging around with and all kinds of crap. But in the long run its alot easier than to keep hiding it.

If you got kicked out of rehab, how do your parents believe that you are clean?

LOL..this sounds like my kind of rehab. Tell your parents to sign me up.

[halfalien_s4]

rehab is such bullshit...i dont even believe in it....people there are such assholes ( i mean the docs and councilers) i was tricked into going to charter when i was 19 by my bf at the time but signed out ama after 3 weeks of hell. i wll never go thru that shit again. all it does is brainwash peole into thinking they r addicts when they r not....

Yes, I have some fond memories of rehab romances:D

I am still married to mine. I just tell everyone we meet at summer camp. At least he knew what his was in for when he meet me.

I got a couple of funny rehab stories...been in so damn many I better have some...(about 15 or so, hard to keep track)

Back when I was still a teenager my parents put me in one of those mixed rehab/psych places and one day me and my roomie decided it would be fun to start kicking in some of the walls. Being they were made of crappy ass drywall I put a big hole through my side. Now it just happens there was a fairly attractive chick in the next room so, being a bored drug deprived teenager it didn't take to much imagination what to do next...So a smaller hole was poked through her side of the drywall and after working my moves (not really, stick a bunch of horny bored teens together, not many moves needed) and, long story short we traded oral favors through the hole in the wall.

When I was a few years older, early 20's, I met this chick in detox/rehab in her mid 30's who conveniently, of course, was also a junkie. Needless to say at some point this became a detox romance. But what makes this particular one funny is that she had managed to be that lucky junky to have won the state lottery a few years before. Lucky for the both of us she was getting the yearly annuity thing and needless to say (yeah, we'll keep each other straight, junky self delusion, love it) when we hooked up after we got out, the habits got worse, good times were had and of course this didn't last...Yeah that was always one of my junky fantasies when I was younger, though I would have rather won the money.

I know, sounds like BS, but I promise, they are both true stories, have others too, but these are the best.

Not to get off topic, but I couldn't resist. I met mine in the parole office 7 years ago.

People can be as off topic as they want in my threads, I don't mind.
It flows better.
And is funnier.

Thanks Alow, it makes for fun times while packin' a good buzz . . . . :D

"Father Martin's Ashley" was my favorite & first one (unless you count the one I walked out on):rolleyes:
I have been to like five (i think lol) yep they work great eh? But my first one was a decent experience really. I was tired at the time & needed a break (though we did get drunk in there one night lol) they took us out for AA meetings so some guys paid a dude off the street an extra ten bucks or something to get us a bottle of vodka. & all the common areas had tons of little cans of cranberry juice, oj etc so perfect mixers too!:p
Oh & it was/is super nice place. Father Martin was a really cool preist (you may have seen his boring chalk talks in your rehab experience LOL) but he's way nice/cool in person.

gorgeous grounds, lots of movie stars go there went there, (Chris Farley , did him a lot of good huh?) Johnny Cash bunch of others dont remember ATM.

5 star chef so the food kicked ASS! it was a country club really an old senators estate. in fact my room was the same room JFK & Jackie slept in when they visited it when he was prez. (does that mean I can say I slept "with" JFK lol.

Still was rehab tough so even a good rehab is still rehab with boring lectures & speakers. they showed really cool movies on the weekends though. I saw the Usual Suspects there the first time & it's still one of my favorite movies.

been to a few after that 1 court ordered well two kinda as I fucked up while I was in drug court so I Just went got myself checked in so I wouldnt' get kicked outta the program. finally did graduate that then . that's another boring story though & this one pretty much sucks sorry:o

rehabs are bullshit, if you wanna quit you'll quit, easy as that folks:cool:

Yup, you are right.
But sometimes it aint about quiting, you got no choice on if to go are not.
Then you just need to play the game.
And stay outta jail.

[blenderqueen]

def better than jail. I had to sit in jail for a month & a half waiting for a bed to open so I could get into the court ordered rehab. :( the 3 month halfway house after rehab sucked too but the 2nd halfway house really sucked wad Baaaad. I was in there with a bunch of women who had just been released from state prison after doing like 10+years for accessory to murder & some shit like that & right in the middle of crack alley too. I could have copped out my window if I was on the first floor lol made a lot of sense :rolleyes: luckily I got out of there after just like 2 months, though I then got engaged & 6mos later married Dh. probably not the BEST idea to marry the first guy you start dating after you quit dope for real & break up with your dopefiend BF of the last 3 years ;) but hey it's a hell of a lot more stable life then , well mentioned above. ah he's a good guy I guess, when' hes not fucking drunk off his ass :rolleyes:

[scikid]

Shit I'm kinda in one know. Its one on one outpatient. Its boring and trival (last session was okay, but we go over things like the 4 core feelings, sad,mad,glad,angry... I'm not 5).

And now I have to go to two AA meetings a week. Not to bad, but I can't stand the 12 steps and all the spirtual shit.

I have been clean though since the 2nd. Not because of the rehab though. It feels nice to take a break and plus I was only drinking pretty much.

Every time I go in there I'm asked if I'm an alcoholic. I say I don't know, I was drinking too much I guess. Do I feel like if I have a drink again my life is over? No. Do I feel like my life is so out of control that I have to turn my life over to god as I understand him... fuck no. Thats so degrading. No wonder NA and AA peeps relapse so hard when they do.
