Thank you 4 all the input. Thats sounds like such a wonderful model to encourage. Tonight I just let them get to know me. When I explained " I am one of you" Their whole demeanor changed and it them at ease… and me too. From what I can tell it is an organization issue. Its not anyone persons fault. They were so warm and respectful… I think we had a great first interaction. I didn’t sit in the office. I engaged. They asked me to pick a movie and so we watched a movie. I have 9 guys total. I just found out its a 30 day program so most of them aren’t acclimated. I feel that my Mom energy was needed. Im just so blessed. I know God planted me right were I am suppose to be. I feel it in my bones I tell ya 
I also see that the staff are amazing people, so strapped and overworked. I will be able to lighten the load. They told me I can get as involved as I want and I can run my shift how I see fit. They are open to suggestions and ideas I have to help… wow. 
Thank you.
Food always works!!!
Can confirm at least where i was. The rehab was run by the state so you basically get the same meals as people in jail/prison. So if you bring in any kind of real food or snacks, it will be a motivator lol
Where I went, was quite different,
Detox was like jail, very miserable I left there in an ambulance fighting for my life.
I went to a php program, the day we went to the center did groups, therapy, and music, we had a house we were bussed to in the afternoon, there we had TV, guitars, drums, keyboards internet and phone privileges, no cell phones though, food was what we requested and we made a meal each night we all took turns cooking, we would have a AA/NA meeting every night, with COVID we did it via zoom. Lights out at midnight. It was like high school with cigarettes, but it changed my life, I’m still close with a lot of the group I spent my 28 days with. We all spread apart, some fell out, others kept the path.
Fingers crossed that it will be a smooth, fast process!!
Thank you Ma’am. I appreciate it.
