You're quite correct Soberlicious. I should clarify: I simply can't afford more than this amount of time ($$ wise); it's a facility where I know the staff, and they know me, so we've negotiated by phone yesterday that I will 'do' this shorter period which for their legal and health fund reasons they have to call 'relapse prevention' NOT 'detox'. Splitting hairs? I don't care, at the moment, because I simply need the chance to get sober again, in a safe environment.

Once back home, I can resume all the tools I use - an eclectic mix of some AA, some outpatient support groups which the rehab facility runs, calling people a bit more than I usually do, seeing a counsellor to simply have someone objective to talk to about depression and so forth...oh, and did I mention, actually and actively practising AVRT?!

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread, just wanted to clarify.
