I am new here but I am in recovery from substances, major depression, and co-dependancy. What i want to bring out is just that what others see of us now and in the future for us possibily may be based on their experiences and a wealth of knowledge. If the inpatient rehab is for a short period of time like 30 days or so, why not? You might learn something to help you or you could use it to help someone else.

Just my opinion.... I wouldnt change my days in rehab for the world. They (my friends in rehab) helped me see what I had been missing in myself and for myself. I was set free and not just from abusing substances, that was just a symptom of a bigger issue.

btw...my name is Teresa
