It depends upon your disposition Natalie. For those that really need and want recovery, it’s good for them and most walk away glad that they did it, and glad that they were there.

If you’re being forced into it, it will be miserable.

First and foremost, in rehab you have a schedule. You just can’t do whatever you want whenever you want. There are bed times, wake times, activities, and they keep you busy the whole day. That’s part of the treatment strategy is to get you doing productive things with your time.

You’ll start to notice (not factoring in addiction) early on that you miss friends and family. Then you’ll likely get tired of the schedules, or that there’s some days you just don’t want to wake or just want to stay in your room. Those are the worst days.

For me, I got tired of hearing other peoples’ problems all day long. You spend a lot of time in “group” which is more or less a private 12 step program and you share stories. In some ways it’s ok because you see people a lot more messed up than yourself and you say, “phew, glad that’s not me”. In some ways it just wears on you and is a very negative experience to hear these stories all day.

I don’t want to give you a bad preconception about rehab. In a lot of ways you’ll likely enjoy it. Sometimes and on some days, you can have genuine fun with others in there during recreation and such. You might find that you relate to a lot of people there. You learn to enjoy yourself without drugs or alcohol.

They may have you visiting with family and expect you to talk about things you did that were wrong, and why you’re wrong, etc. For some this is hard because they don’t want loved ones to know the things they’ve been involved with. Just one of many things to expect in rehab…

So it’s really good and bad, and you’ll have more of one than the other depending upon why you’re going in. I for one can’t stand these state agencies that force people into rehab because to quit using, you have to want to quit. If you don’t want to, you won’t, and it ends up being a waste of time and money.

You should only go if recovery is something you’re absolutely serious about. Well, that or if you’re forced to by government 🙂
