In Patient vs. Out Patient Therapy - PLEASE HELP

Ok, I looking at some major retooling of my lifestyle for alcohol problems.  20 years ago I did 28 days inpatient treatment.  Today I can't find hardly any inpatient facilities and the insurance only covers 20 days.   What suggestions do you have to maximize the time I have under the insurance? Thanks in advance, T 

I was addicted to oxycodone for about a year I went into a 6 day detox progam and it was great I have been clean for over a year now.

How much and how often do you drink?  Do you need help in detoxing?   There are intensive outpatient programs that are several hours a day, several days a week, which could be helpful.  You might want to speak to a therapist, and find out what is in your best interest. Hugs, Trish

I believe the correct responses would be:  too much, too often, & no I don't need medical help detoxing (done it often enough this past year that nausea and the shakes seem normal any more). I have seen a counselor preivously but am looking to step it up.  Have some interviews planned this week but was also looking for some real world comments and opinions. Thanks, T

Hi T- Congrats on deciding to retool the alcohol problems:) I did not go to rehab when I got sober ten years ago. Thinking back now or, God forbid, I had to do it again......I'd go inpt...just to get the real intensive learning opportunity. I bet alot can be done in 20 days!  You can do this! One Day at a Time!
