New in Rehab right now! 1st time, last time?

Hi, I finished a decent detox and 1 week ‘residential’ same facility- im right now sitting in bed so disappointed with this place, very discouraged. I was told this had multiple therapies and groups, Smart recovery etc. It’s nice enough in Florida but the techs have ended up putting on corny drill Sargent motivational bs, or we end up coloring and .making bracelets. There’s one counselor for everyone in groups- I was hoping to really get some real skills, bummer

Welcome. How long are you there for? I would suggest having an open mind and making the most of the experience. If you happen to find a hobbie that you enjoy it’ll go along way in your recovery.

There are plenty of great resources here below:

Best wishes to you on your journey

Welcome to the community :raising_hand_woman:

This is a good opportunity you have here. Id say embrace what the positives are and try to get what you know will help you out of it.
Your fighting a good fight and your in a place with many resources.
Nice to have you with us :slightly_smiling_face:

That does sound frustrating. At least you can make some connections with other people in the same situation as you. Definitely look at that resource list Dan shared. There is plenty for you to try and learn.
