Going to up scale rehab ( What to expect?!)

[pkt]

Hello, sorry if this is not the correct forum, Mods yall do your thing .

I have been using heroin for 2.5-3 years on a daily basis, i have wanted to get clean and have tried on my own but every time i get dick i buy dope. Having realized that i dont have the power to do it on my own so i decided to invest a shitload in a real nice place. The place looks more like a 4 star hotel with pool and round the clock treatment ss opposed to the shithole i went to 20 years ago. ( it even has a pool and private rooms with terrace and the works. )

I have some questions; i talked to them about staying on my alloted dose of alprazolam as right now im just trynna kick dope, they told me they only use bupe and a bunch of sedatives and hypnotic drugs to help with sleep and withdrawals. The last time i was in rehab was 20 years ago plus it was a state run facility and i imagine rehabs in general have changed allot plus i would like to know how these swanky rehabs where people with money go as compared to the underfunded state run facilities.

I often hear about these swanky places where these hollywood prettyboys go and it makes me think if those pussys can do it then it should be easyer for sn OG street rat like myself.

Please tell me what these places are generally like? I have no idea and really need some assurance that paying many thousands of dollars for a short stay will make this a more bearable stay and i please no negative comments like its just a robbery etc…

Trynna to be positive and get clean for myself, my kids and the people around me whom i love.

Also, im in Europe if anyone knows anything about the drugs they use for sleep and muscle pain etc?

Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,

Went to an expensive new place in the USA several years ago, where people traveled thousands of miles to get to.

What i noticed about it compared to just one other place I went to, was thought-provoking group work, enthusiastic / supportive staff, good food, and structure. But based on what I've heard, the structure of places can vary. I'm not too familiar with the drugs they give because I didn't take many and didn't ask others what they took.

My advice is to make the most of it. It's easy to get too comfortable with the amenities, supportive staff, and interesting people (who don't necessarily have your best interest in mind after rehab or may just want a pissing contest and to tell war stories). The important part is really digest the information, apply it to your life, and leave with a solid plan and positive outlook.

Need to emphasise this.

I went to Rehab over 20 years ago and I am pretty sure it would have worked so much better than it did.
The reason I say this was the objective of my experience mentioned was the Rehab was a "get out of jail" free card.
I didn't choose to go on my own, but due to circumstances it was necessary and, thank God, I got a second chance at life, but for the reason of avoiding a criminal record and potential jail time etc. I was young and scared and all I could think about was being free again.
It was a private Rehab and also kinda upscale for that time.

The point I am trying to make is if you chose to go and you know your goal for that choice, then "I salute you" and your time in Rehab should be totally positive and successful.
You will be able to fully focus on what you are wanting to conquer and you will come out a winner.
Being an upscale one, and actually being aware of this to the point of you actually creating this thread, will make the goal so much clearer.

Regarding the sleep and muscle pain question, I am sure you will know if this starts to take away the focus of your recovery while there and will handle it in the best way only you would know how.

Try your utmost to not lose sight of your primary goal.

You got this and you got our support too.

Go for it!
