Has anyone ever been to an inpatient 28 day program. If so, what can I expect. I’m nervous about going.
I have. It’s the best thing I could have done. I was nervous too, but that went away pretty quick. It’s pretty regimented. There is not much free time. There was meals, meditation, lectures, chores, groups, videos, speakers, meetings, counseling sessions.. They keep you busy. The best part is it got me out of the chaos of my messed up life, so I could focus on my recovery. My best advise is to handle it like a business trip, and don’t get caught up in any drama. Remember why you are there. Your addiction is going to tell you that it’s not working and you might want to leave a week in. Don’t. Stick around. I wanted to leave ten days in. By day 18, I didn’t want to ever leave. lol You are going to get challenged and you are going to have to get honest. Our addiction doesn’t like that kind of $hit. But..I had a lot of fun and met some pretty cool people too.
