Hello. Hopefully I'm bringing my son to an inpatient program tomorrow. I am feeling very hopeful but do know the odds aren't good for the first time. He has been hospitalized 2 other times due to drugs but has never gone beyond out patient. I guess I'm just trying to find out what to expect. Thank you.

I'm sorry I seem to have put this in the wrong place.

You'll get replies in this section from all sorts of members.

I went to an in-patient detox program, and spent several days there. A doctor prescribed something to help with withdrawal symptoms. Since mine was just a detox program, there wasn't a huge amount of recovery education, as there would be in a rehab program. But I met with staff daily and we had AA or NA meetings every evening.

I wish you and your son well! Are you attending Naranon or Al Anon near you? You may want in person support.

Stick around here, too! Lots of support here! And information.
