Saying no is probably the hardest part.... I think geographics are the best option. When people return to old people, places, and things it's exponentially harder to practice the new tools learned in treatment. Let's be realistic though, Drug Rehab is no safer than any other place. The reality is that Rehabs are a metropolis of addicts-- thereby increasing the chances that SOMEONE is going to use while they are there. Often 'clients' will sneak in drugs and alcohol or scam prescriptions at a doctor's visit while in treatment. Administration shouldn't kick clients out for use. Would you kick a cancer patient out of the hospital because they got sicker? People should know that going to treatment does not equate to going to a drug-free oasis. They will be just as tempted to use as anywhere else. -- Perhaps even more given the 'thrill factor' of getting away with it under everyone's noses. Patients/clients and counselors alike should be understanding when a peer relapses in treatment. It could very well be you sitting in that same seat- so why not say "but for the grace of God..." and lend a helping hand to pick them back up. This posting reminded me of Nancy Reagan.
