Hi everyone,
Some of you may remember me... my Hubby is an addict of percocets and we've been trying to get him to quit for what feels like forever now. I haven't been on here in months and regret it. I really like the support I get here.... I've come back to ask your opinion, advice, views, etc about a rehab centre. We've looked into one that's about a two-hour drive away (as there's nothing in our city) and wanted to know what to expect... I’m drawing a bank now. I suffer from BP myself and my concentration is very poor lately as I’ve put my own health aside to help him. I know now that this isn’t helping him, but we’re about an inch away from rock bottom at this point and we’re both trying to get better so we can move on with our lives. Anyways, for those of you who have been to a rehab centre, what’s it like? How did you deal with the “3 day detox” that he has to go through before being admitted to the rehab facility? He’s been given chlanazapam (sp?) and it’s like his miracle cure! I can’t believe how much better he is on it. It doesn’t turn him into the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde he usually does. He does sleep a LOT, maybe too much, but he isn’t going through the major WDs he normally does. I guess what I really want to know is how do we prepare for this next step? And then when he comes home, what should I expect? What do I need to do to make his transition easier? I really want this to work, as does he, and I NEED to know how to make it work (from my point). I know this is his battle and I can only support him, but I want to know how to be of better to support to him. I want to know what to expect.
Thanks in advance,
Jester
