Been to rehab 2 times and just to detox once. All pretty terrible experiences. During my second full stay (pre tranq H) some patients were getting high left and right because someone brought shit in with them and another had a bf sneak H in during visitation. At first, I thought they were just getting over medicated by the rehab but then heard the deal. All patients ended up getting drug tested like 19 days into our stay. I *volunteered * to go first becauase i knew i was good.... except.... i...wasn't? The nurse had this look on her face and I was so confused. I said "it's negative, right?" And she shows me the cup with a positive under the opiates. This was for my drug court, so now I was panicked and freaked out and still so confused. And then it hit me... every morning in the cafeteria, there were always a bunch of poppyseed muffins. They were delicious and extra food is a nice little come up. I ate a ton of them little shits. It never occured to me that they would be a hazard to my future, besides maybe the caloric intake. I honestly thought it was a myth that eating poppy seed bagels could cause a positive result for opiates. You'd have to eat so many poppy seeds, right?! Wrong. It was not an obscene amount. Just a daily snack. The director and my counselor sent the test out to a lab and had to know what was up based on what came back (codeine and morphine) but instead, they grilled me and intimidated me for 15 to 20 minutes, trying to get me to "admit" to something I never did. It was surreal. Ultimately, a day or so later, they decided to let me stay, probably because they knew that eating poppy seeds breaks down into codeine and morphine and there was only one other person who said that they ate a lot of poppy seed muffins, but unfortunately he ended up also testing positive for subutex, which he obtained illicitly from another patient and was then kicked out with about 7 or 8 other people.
I will t
I want to check out that episode of Blackmarket. My streaming services are kind of limited right now tho. The way that everything is priced these days is a bit much. With all the mergers, they're slowly but surely making the internet as shitty as cable. (Thats a whole other discussion)
I have heard such horror stories about getting off of benzos. That is a state of mind I hope I never end up in. This is something that I never thought I would say but... benzos actually helped me kick a 1.5 year long tranq dope habit. It incrementally snuck into the supply and I didn't realize until it was already too late. Before I was able to get enough benzos though, I had tried to quit three times; one of the times involved a detox facility. I have been clean from opiates and (and benzos) going on 3 years in April.
Jail is a place that, so far, I have been lucky (and/or privileged) enough to avoid. I have an arrest record (misdemeanor-drugs-possession) but I've never been to jail or prison. I know that I am no different than many addicts who.have been incarcerated. I've met people who have been to county jail for lesser offenses. For a while there, I thought maybe we would see some actual change regarding our prison system, but like almost every other societal problem, people talk about it for a second but thats it. Its just people getting mad and doing nothing.
Was it a clean, swift scchtboppp and it's done or was there any hacking or (God forbid, and please do so even though I don't believe in you) sawing ?
