> PC I'm glad you feel better. But I can understand how you felt. What if the person was bipolar or something else. Did they think themselves into this? I know when I was healthy and charge nurse of employee assistance program for not just alcohol but all drug rehab it was the opposite for some and others had real physical problems which caused them to abuse to kill the pain which was physical. I've not heard of this type of program. So bottom line did it help you and will you return to your docs here? Phillipa
I could never get a straight answer from anyone regarding serious diagnoses.
Within the first week I was there, I had suicidal ideations, was threatened with involuntary hospitalisation, and was told I was probably in the wrong place. No refunds, mind you. $29,000 and no insurance coverage.
My Klonopin was reduced from 3 mg per day to 1.5 mg. Ambien XR 12.5 mg has been reduced to generic zolpidem 5 mg in less than 4 weeks. No wonder my head is spinning.But yes, despite the nasty, rapid taper, I feel better, if foggy. I cannot fathom drinking again. I also think the program is a load of unsubstantiated B.S. We Skyped with the author of a bunch of the course books. I asked him whether the organization just did not believe in the disease model of mental illness, and his reply was that he was "just a consultant". They lost me then and there.
It is good to be home.
