Hang in there. Can I ask why you want to go inpatient? Is this to be out of the community, so to speak, while you get a month or so sober under your belt? Feel free to DM me if you want. Not trying to pry, just trying to figure out which is the best direction to point you in. Hugs to you! The first step is always the hardest and you've already taken it.

TBH my probation officer is adamant that I go in patient. Even tho the doctors at the detox center I went to and at the clinic I'm currently in have both sent her reports to tell her that they recommend outpatient intensive. However, I have never really done any kind of treatment, so I'm actually looking forward to it and excited about doing it! I've been sober many times, for years at a time, but I've never really had the therapy I need to work on myself. Of course I could do that outpatient, but I just feel like I will get more out of inpatient. Also, I'm not from this area originally so I'm excited to meet some people who are in recovery and hopefully build a network of supportive people of like mind!
