What happens when you go to rehab?

That all depends on you, if your serious about getting well or just going through the motions for someone else.

You basically get help if u have cigarettes for example they take them away from you and help u get through ur problems they help u its not bad at all

In a rehabilitation center you will learn to live without your addiction. Through detox, counselling, recreational therapy, and education - you will learn the skills needed to live an addiction free life. You will receive ongoing support throughout your stay and aftercare upon your release. You will also be treated for any withdrawal symptoms you experience (if applicable)

When you go to rehab, you not only try to change your substanse problems. But you also try to change your mental state into understanding the consequences that will incur on those that are close to you,

I think rehab experiences vary greatly. The first thing that was concentrated on in a therapeutic group was to break through any denial. group sessions were held throughout the day from 9 till 5. There was much focus on talking about feelings both past and present. One becomes emotionally raw. Self exploration is encouraged, Lessons are taught about basic life skills and coping mechanisms. One is given a healthy diet and must participate in regular exercise. Proper sleep hygiene is stressed. Relationships are explored, Much is taught about how different the post rehab sober life will need to be. Triggering persons, places and things must be avoided. The experience was much like being broken down then rebuilt. It was worthwhile.
