I didn't detox using a doctor, but I sure needed a therapist afterwards. I have seen way too many psychologists/therapsits/social workers/alcohol ???. All of them worthless until I was refered to a guy that never asked "how does that make you feel" and "can you talk about that more" and al the other meaningless **** that gets taught in counsler school.
This guy calls me on my **** every time, offers real solutions, and has excellent insight to my real problems. I would encourage you to search, and keep searching till you find someone who is not a rote piece of crap "therapist" but is someone with real understanding and has some solutions to offer. If you were in my area I could refer you to the guy that has turned me around.
