Sometimes people arrive at a drug and alcohol rehab facility and it does not meet their expectations.  They thought it was something different or they thought other things were going to be there and they are missing.  This actually happens more than you would think.  I am not talking about deception here. 

There a couple of reasons for this.  First of all there are many people involved in the process of going to a drug and alcohol rehab.  There is the client.  There are the intake personal of the rehab facility.  There are also 2 or 3 family members involved, often sho are providing the funds.  All this is completed during a high time of stress for the client and family. 

People often talk to several rehabs before choosing one.  So with all these different people discussing things often there is some confusion about what rehab had what parts of different programs.  With the stress and worry going on and the sleepless nights it is really to be expected to be a little confused and mixed up.

Add to this the client who is somewhat out of control.  They are not in the clearest of states.  If they were, why would they go to rehab?  They hear bits of one rehab's program and bits of another's.  Again given the mental state they are in, it is to be expected that some confusion would take place.

So if you are in a drug and alcohol rehab center and somethings don't quite match what you expected, don't be angry or deceived.  Nobody tried to trick you.  It goes with having so many people trying to help you at a stressful time.  Be thankful so many people care, and work with all of your heart at what is there.
