Anyone have Rehab experiences to share with me?

I am debating the issue of going to rehab.  I have excellent insurance, so I am lucky.  I just can't get over three days without massive debillitating deression.  I am weighing all my options.  Any feedback would help.  I Have CTed a few times and if I can make it a week I can last a long time without even thinking of drugs or cravings.

I have been on Ultram for 8 years. I went into detox for 5 days 2 years ago because I believed I could not do it on my own. They treated me with phenabarbitol and catapress for my blood pressure.  To me it was a very depressing place but it did work. I went home without physical symptoms but the depression was overwhelming.  I went right back on the Ultram.  Now 2 years later I went to a medical doctor who helped me taper.  With the love/support of my husband and a power greater than myself, I am 13 days clean. I am finally sleeping and functioning okay but I am far from over the loss of my so-called friend.  I attend drug and alcohol counceling and NA meetings twice a week.  It helps but a lot of it you really have to force yourself thru. I have found that reading my NA book when I am feeling the lowest to remind me of where I was, is the best thing for me to get me on the road to another day. If I need to cry, my husband just tells me to do whatever I need to do.  I take it one moment at at time. Everyday is a challenge but I am determined to make it thru to get back to what use to be a normal, interesting life. Funny thing was that on Ultram, I thought my life was normal and interesting. Seems I was very wrong. I was the only one that didnt know it. The recipe for everyone is different but it can happen. Good luck.
