Question by Jasmine: What Exactly Happens In Drug Rehab?
I’m writing a short story for a school assignment and it’s about a teen going to rehab for heroin addiction. Obviously in order to write this I need a little insight on what it would actually be like to be in rehab. Like what do they make you do right when you check yourself in, and what activities or therapies would you partake in, daily? Also what rules and such do patients need to follow. If anyone could give me any insight or share your rehab stories I would really appreciate it.

Rehabs can vary from something spa like to something resembling a psych ward. Either way, they train your focus away from outside matters onto almost strictly you and your inner issues and addictions. I should be able to offer in-depth details for you, but it’s kind of depressing for me at this point in life. The success rate is actually pretty low for these treatments, though they are helpful in getting connected to what one will need to know in order to recover.

Answer by it doesn’t really matter
I personally do not know, but you could always go to a drug rehab facility’s website, such as this one: http://www.freedomdrugrehab.com/ and see what kind of programs they offer (just search Google for “drug rehab” or “drug rehab facility”. There are different kinds I’m sure. Also, you may want to try calling a few of them up and just say, “hey I’m doing research on drug rehab centers I was wondering what kind of treatments you offer for recovering heroin addicts” … or if that doesn’t work, you could call and pretend like you are looking for a facility for your friend to check into and find out about their programs that way (some people only want to talk to potential patients). I know that probably wasn’t the answer you were looking for, but I hope it helps!

Question by Frenzy: How often must one get drunk before you would consider them an alcoholic? ?
With what frequency must drinking to get drunk, not having a glass of wine over dinner for instance, occur before you would consider a person an alcoholic?

I don’t buy into this AA mythology that alcoholism is a disease, by the way. It’s an expression of a specific behavior – excessive consumption of alcohol to get become inebriated. So, if you happen to be a member of that cult, you don’t have to answer this question.

Have drug dealers stick a label with your website address on their baggies. 🙂

You will probably need to seek a online marketing professional, to help you with SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ) and you could also do PPC, Pay Per Click advertising, which is the ads on the sides of the search engines, And, when someone typed in a related topic like, “Find a drug rehab center” it would display your ad.

You could try drug rehab forums, and groups online, and advertise there as well.

Which, your website is a very broad, website, and many people seeking treatment, find a place locally in their phonebook. But, than again, there may be people out of state, or want to send their child or someone to an out of state rehab center that provides better treatment. So, your site may have potential.
