Question by K<3A 2315: What happens in rehab?
My boyfriend has gone to rehab for 30 days. I know the idea of rehab, and it was more of his choice then being forced. But for him i wonder if it will help. He huffs, which is deadly, but will rehab give him new skills to cope with things or just try to break the addiction while hes there. I’ve never been to rehab, but what are the bests things I can do to support him when he’s out? He’s only 17, and needed the help. But is there anything I can do for him? Also, anyone who’s gone through rehab, can you tell me what its like? I’m straight edge, so I know thats a good example for him, but what else can I do other then be there for him?
He’s only going for 30 days because insurance will only pay for 30. and his case worker said he would only need 30-45 days. I’m not sure how they base it. its a youth rehab center.

If he is only going for 30 days it probably wont help too much. They will just keep him off it for the 30 days and teach him ways of trying to resist temptation.

What he really needs to do is go to a rehab which will keep you there for 2-3 months (you sign a form saying they can keep you there for that long even if you wish to leave) where they completely break you down and get to the roots of everything negative in your life and then build you back up again. That is the type of rehab that actually works.

Question by Chanele G: My sister is addicted to crack. She keeps getting disgusting infections. How to help her?
She gets these big huge bubbles filled with pus and blood clots from the needles. Can’t you catch hepatitis C and AIDS? I know she can but I guess I’m in denial. I wish she would stop. But she wont listen. And wont go to rehab. I’m lost. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? What am I to do?

Answer by Coalie
Intervention. Drag her to recovery which is what you’ll have to do. You can’t just ask addicts what they want to do.
