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.

Hello.. I am Suzie and i was recently in a 23 day inpatient program.. stayed for 27 cuz i did not want to leave!  Mine was the Friary in Penscola part of the hopsital network there.  Lakeview Bapt Hosp.  It was awesome!  Right on the water..a former monestary so spiritual.But as u may know a recovery program is non denominational.. in fact if you want your higher power to be the group or a door knob that is ok.  I treid to quit my d o c on my own.  It was very potent synthetic narcotic 10 x's stronger than morphine that i used very day 24 hours per day for 10 years.  And i used a lot.. many times though i was o d'ing.  The Friary saved my life.  The staff had been there for years.  It is one of the top 1% in the nation. Everyone who works there is one of us too so who better understands!
It was truley a sanctuary to be separate from real life and work all the time on recovery.  They do keep you busy with scedules to get us back in a routine or living life.  But they are caring but firm NOT a military mentality at all.  Meetings were from about 8 a m til 9 p m every day but weekends more laid back with more breaks.  Food was great!  I gained weight for sure!
Inpatient Rehab, for me, has been the true beginning of my new life in recovery. Even if you have doubts do it if you instincts tell  you u need it.. many who were there at first did not even believe they were addicts but soon they understood the nature of thier disease.
i hope this helps.  If you like.. e-mail me at ***@**** .. anyone can e-mail me anytime!
Peace and hope!
Suzie
