When it came time for me to enter rehab I never knew there were so many choices. I thought that all drug rehabs in New York would be basically the same. What a shock that was. I went on the internet to check out New York drug rehab and began calling. Much to my surprise, it seemed like every New York drug rehab had their own philosophy and while most seemed to follow the 12 step approach, they all had differences. Rather than try and figure this out, I got frustrated and continued to use for another three or four months.

Addiction Helpline 1-800-99-DETOX

When I finally had had enough, instead of calling a New York rehab, I called one of those addiction helplines. This time I had a professional evaluating my needs and recommending a rehab that could help me. The funny thing was that the drug rehab happened to be a Florida rehab and it was the best thing I ever did. They key though, was calling the addiction helpline and having someone walk me through the process. It made a complicated process simple. Kind of like I keep my recovery program today……..simple.

The addiction helplines I called were 1-800-511-9225 and 1-800-99-DETOX. Both were free and very helpful.
