My S/O is in this rehab right now. He's been there about 2 months and has 4 months to go. Anyway, when he went into the rehab program he really planned to make it work and stay clean. He even called me after the first week asking me to quit drugs for him. But that attitude didn't last long. As it turns out, a large percentage of the people there are using drugs. He's seen some people get caught and get kicked out, some sent to prison. So for a while he was just to scared to use, but they don't have drug tests unless the Leader people suspect they're on drugs.
R made good friends with this guy T who shoots heroin every single day, usually several times a day. He doesn't do heroin, but now he has started smoking pot every day. The rehab patients are allowed passes to go out in the evenings as long as they aren't by themselves and they have to be back by a certain time. Anyway, so I went and met up with R and T at the mall. I was on meth, T was on heroin, and R was on coke. We went back to the place where I stay and did some more drugs and then we went back to the rehab. T and R waited until the leader dude had gone to bed and they snuck me into their room. R and I just chilled out and didn't do any more drugs, but T was shooting heroin about every hour.
It just seemed so weird that this was a drug rehab and from what it sounds like, the majority of the people there are still using. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if that's common in rehabs. I'm sure at any place somebody could find a way to get something. But I didn't expect drug use would be so heavy in a rehab. Anybody else got stories about drugs in rehab?

Funny thing is I was the house coordinator in my last rehab (for anyone who's been in a longterm residential and knows what the "status team" is) and I was basically helping staff run shit, telling people what to do, what to clean, I got to go home every weekend, and got to decide who could go on home visits and who couldn't (of course staff could override my decisions, but they usually wouldn't) and I was on drugs the entire time. I don't know how, but I never failed a drug test.
