not gonna say cause cops dont like me
Nobodys gotta read this, just needa vent for a minute..and didnt mean to put the icon as happy cause im pretty fucking pissed.

So i went to rehab like i had planned...made it two days..and in 48 hours this is what the fuck happened.

i get in their Thursday, and they admit me and leave me sitting in admissions sick as fuck. dont even let me smoke.
Finally i get into detox, and they say im not sick enough for meds, so i chill in their with some strung out junkies. im the only juvenile.
People keep comin over askin whats my deal and shit, and they wanna talk to me about drugs? why the fuck did i come here if i wanna talk about drugs.

After 5 hours in detox, they send me over to a adolescent unit, and give me a bed. I meet my roomates in the activity room, and their praying for sobriety. Im not down with that, but i guess thats fine if their tryin to get sober? No.

We get back to our beds, and they change a complete 180.. they start swappin pills and shit from their meds.. i ask whats goin on? they go oh that was just a show, if you dont comply they extend your treatment for a while, but in here we can kinda do what we want, no one bothers us.
Im a little nervous, cause some of the meds their trading are ones ive abused when i was on the outside..

I go to take a shower, and everybodys smokin some home rolled shit, they say their cigs, but idk what they got in em, cause i saw some people crushin up meds and they mightve sprinkled some shit on em..i needed a cig though so i smoked.

i go to sleep, and wake up. Trying to go home, no big deal just not for me..Nooooottttt
i signed myself in, but i cant sign myself out. I flip the fuck out.

We go to breakfast and i tell the staff i need a phone call to my dad, they deny me cause they know im trying to get a ride home. So i threaten a staff member that i need a phone call or bad things will happen..she laughs it off. Ok

I pick up the chair im sitting in and throw it at the window, the staffs not laughing anymore. I call out anybody who wants to fight, idgaf, im leaving here one way or another. cop car or ambulance. my mind is made. if nobody wants to throw im just gonna hit somebody

Before anybody steps up to throw hands, staff escorts me out to the Administrative Office. I've made my point. On the way out, the staff members van is parked out front and i kick it and dent the door. She tells me to fuck off

i get into a room where theres an older man sitting, he says wtf is going on. ive been here for one day, and hes already getting phone calls. he dosent like it. i say its my right for a phone call, he says fuck my rights, hes in charge. then the staff members explain what had happened, and he says i can have one phone call. About time.
i call my dads cell with no answer....i leave a message and pray for a phone call back even though im not religious.

The man tells me my parents dont want to hear from me, they set me up with an intervention, and im not going home until he decides im ready. He says if i pull any more stunts like that he'll put me away where nobody can find me. i leave the office without saying another word. i head back to my "Cabin" and lay down in bed...im never gonna leave. Its about 11am.

The staff member tells me to make my bed and get up, i say fuck off im sleeping. Eventually i go out to the day room to chill, everybody's watching me wondering what caused my last outrage. I get a call to the doctor, she wants to do an evaluation. She comes to the conclusion that i have anxiety, and compulsive anger, i need sedative benzos to get rid of my unexplained anger and calm my anxious nature. i refuse the meds. i came to rehab to get clean.

I walk out smoking a cigarette i had gotten off of an adult when i passed by the detox building on the way to the doctor. They tell me to put it out but i dont.

Then we go into a room where we have free time to sit and discuss our drug use, i want no part. i lift weights in the adjoined gym.

My dad calls back, its now about 2pm..he says hes been advised not to come get me..apparently the administrator called and told him i was delusional, angry, and refusing treatment. i tell him if he dosent come, he'll be getting a call concerning my bail. He decides he'll come. Good.

About 30 seconds later i get called out by the same old man in the administrative building, hes pissed. good.

He says why am i fucking up my treatment, im only affecting me. i say nothing. He calls my dad and puts it on speaker, and tells my dad he has no idea what hes doing, and hes making a mistake..my dad says he knows what he needs to do and hes on his way now. He hangs up the phone.

The man says im just a dope fiend using my scumbag ways to lure my dad into helping me, i tell him to go fuck himself, and not to ever talk to my dad like that again unless he wants problems. He says that is bullshit and goes back to his office. Finally.

At about 430pm my dad shows up, to pick me up. The administrator tells me that hes told my dad i no longer wish to leave and ive decided to stay, so dont even go near the administration building because im staying. i again say go fuck yourself, and i make my way to the parking lot, my dads sitting in his car waiting, i let him know i am leaving, and i need to get my bags so dont leave. He says ok.

i meet up with a couple addicts from the adult detox i had met, and they wish me the best and to stay strong, i wish them the same. Tough.

i get my things and make my way out, the administrator stops me one last time and says as soon as i get out and start using again, never to try and get back into this rehab when i need it, hed rather see me use than to be back in his building. i say im not going to need him anymore, and it was nice meeting him. He walks off.

I get into my dads car with my things and we leave. its now 630pm.

Longest 2 days of my life. How the fuck i get in these situations i dont know. I got lucky that my anger actually got me somewhere, cause that wont work everywhere.

Court soon for the truancy still since i was marked as an AMA (Against Medical Advice) So i left as a failure to treatment. Not totally excited about all this, just happy ill be able to celebrate my birthday in the comfort of my own home.
 
I'm glad you were able to remove yourself from an unethical rehab facility, but I hope you don't give up on getting help if you need it. I am older now, but when I was an adolescent I was in rehab, and the staff there scared my parents to death, and they believed the BS. My naieve parents were convinced by the staff that when I said it was a scam for the money, I was in denial and it was my addiction talking.

right? the rehab will say whatever they need to, to get your insurance to pay for more time. whether it be true or not. i think if im going to get any help, im waiting till im 18 where i actually have rights and could leave if that be the best choice. just another year
 
I am amazed they let your dad take you out. You know my ordeal with my son. They would not let him make a ten minute phone call until his third week in. I took him out AMA and against court's orders after 7 weeks. The judge was furious with me and Thursday morning the sheriff came to pick me up. I would rather me go to jail than my son. So I got out at 9 tonight and have to re-appear Monday .

The prosecuter wanted to keep me in jail. My public defender didn't show up and out of nowhere this attorney approached me and said he was sent to represent me pro-bono. I didn't think misdemeanor possession charges would end up like this. But court is fucking serious business, with my ex-husband telling the caseworker he didn't know where my son was. He's been home the whole time with my dad watching him. Still, I couldn't talk but the lawyer fought for me being that the prosecuter and caseworker made me look like some renegade.

Do what they tell you to and even if you have to go in there and kiss the judge's ass. It's better than going to jail. Even if they send you in, it won't be for very long. You're still a juvenile and they don't want to do that, just stick with whatever program they order you to. <3
 
sounds a bit dramatic to be honest. Your anger just showed how immature you are. I don't want to be mean but being a little shit to a bunch of people at a rehab isn't going to get you anywhere.

how do you get yourself in those situations? you brought it on yourself, especially by going willingly then flipping out while there. You could have just kept to yourself, did what you were told, ignored the others and made it a positive experience.
 
if i go willingly, i should be able to leave whenever i want. And if i didnt make a statement like that i would still be there now, probably still with no phone call. And everything i said was what happened. they say rehab only works if you want it to, and i said this situation at this time isnt going to work for me..they didnt care and said i had to finish treatment. fuck that.

i dont need drugs in my face while im trying to help myself. i can have that same experience down the street from where i life, and it wont bill my insurance

wow.. and i replied to your pm about that
 
Yeah adolescent rehab is no good most of the kids are court ordered and just want to complete. go home and get high. that being said you probably should have just stuck it out now you might be going to hicks where they won't be so accommodating. when you flip out. if you really do want treatment you should wait till 18 and go to a non twelve step program.

I meant juvie.not hicks my phone is piece of shit.

So whats your deal now opium are you clean? I left against medical advice to, from a detox in long beach hours away from my house. Stayed there like 3-4 days and said enough was enough, i wasn't even kicking hard(heroin) and i could have done it at home. My parents were dumb for sending me there, anyways i hit the streets and asked someone to use their cell and got picked up. LIttle did i know my parents were furious, on my way back home they left me in front of this pretty ghetto long beach rehab.

It was actually a pretty cool experience at that rehab, met a lot of cool bangers and even scored with one of my buddies i met there.
 
Man, I've been to rehab 4-5 times and it's the same shit every timePushy and aggressive staff constantly laying down the law....I've never really got the whole "forcing shit down people's throat approach. If you're a jevenile they lay on the tough love bullshit even more because they assume you're a spoiled brat who needs discipline. they'll do anything to keep you in there. Have you "evaluated" if you argue or go against anything you say....Conspire to make up lies to tell your family to scare them so they won't pick you up or give you a place to stay when you leave....It's like, "What did I ever do to these fucking people. Of course, "I'm the one in denial and they're only trying to help me!"....Funny thing is I believe you wanted to get clean...I could tell you horror stories for days....I hear, there are some good ones but if it involves treating me like slave, I'm straight!
 
right dude? i wanted a place to go and forget about my shit on the outside, just chill and talk to people who would give me some coping skills and positive advice..like you said crimson, instead it was 9/10 kids who went there to avoid a lengthy stay in juvy.. so they all talked about "Yo as soon as i get outta here, im bangin a bundle then smoking a blunt" and im like yo i dont need to hear that shit..

it was so much different in detox, cause most of the adults came there on their own, so they truly wanted to get clean..and i liked that. i would of liked to stay in the adult unit, but i wasnt old enough. and detox was ok but everybody was strung out..and i mean i was sick off of perks, but not bad enough as these junkies who had been injectin for years up until hours before they arrived. and like you said f1, there were a lot of chill dudes, and if i was lookin for a heroin hookup, or someone to use with..i could of found one easily to chill with when i left. i genuinely wanted some help though

So i mean idk.. i do want to get clean, and i might check myself into a place when im 18..so theres not such great restrictions, and different treatment cause i was so young. they all looked at me like yo..howd you fuck your life up this bad at only 16? you need some discipline to learn why you shouldnt do that..not what i needed. already under pressure, dont need a counselor breathing down my neck on when to take a shower and when to go to bed..like fuck man. just liked you said bluehues.

Until then imma do my best to keep away from triggers and places, and just hold it out. maybe i can do it on my own..never know until you try i guess
 
I don't think the choice to flip out was a good one, and I think you're right that it isn't going to always work. It was a childish reaction, but, I can also understand your frustrations. I've dealt with similar reactions from a detox facility, and it is just so frustrating, and gives you such a feeling of powerlessness. I also don't understand the point of forcing someone against their will, it seems so counter productive to me. I think it comes from the widely held view that addiction is a moral failing that someone needs to be punished or shamed out of. Why do addicts need to 'earn' phonecalls, visits or rights? It seems to stem from a view that addiction or drug use is a sin that needs to be atoned for, and only then will the addict be 'allowed' to have the rights of a non addicted person. I know that some addicts can be hard to deal with, but it's almost like some staff think showing any compassion will legitimise someone's decision to use, or 'baby' them, and they need 'tough love'. It's a standpoint I completely disagree with. Compassion and understanding is so important when it comes to beating an addiction, because it's so tough, and people on the road to sobriety need support.

Incidentally, I also begged to be put into the adult facility after my first stint in the adolescent facility, which they allowed, but I ended up wishing I'd gone back to the kids one, haha. I guess the question is how you're going to proceed from here opium? Do you have plans set in place for how your going to taper off or stay clean? Goals you're trying to reach - are you aiming to stay off forever, or just a period? Your goals at the moment sound vague - 'I'll do my best to keep away from triggers and places' - and IMO, goals need to be specific and water tight when it comes to addiction. There's so many paths to whatever goals you choose though, of which detox/rehab is only one. They get a lot of press, but I don't think they work for everyone; they definitely weren't for me.
 
yeah i just didnt know how else i could get my point across besides showing aggression..which was childish but it sure got everyone's attention.

also i really dont know what im gonna do after this..all i know is i promised my dad that if he came and picked me up, that id stop using..which i hope i can stick to.
Rehabs are definitely not for me, at least until i can go to an adult unit in another year..

and i agree completely people look at drug addiction, like your a rapist..and you need to be punished for the immoral values that you inhibit..which i dont agree with. i see addiction like they say, its a disease....damn right it is. Hopefully shit goes straight but ill never know till time passes.
