What are some helpful things to look for and consider when searching for a rehab center? 


There are many treament centers out there and I get overwhelmed when looking online.

I would ask my dr for a referral. And then go. If you have a problem with booze then the addicted part of the brain will make up any and all excuses to keep drinking.

For me I woke up one Sunday and was so tired of being sick and tired. I looked up help and went that day. I think if I didn't take the action I would still be chained to the bottle

Take the bull by the horns and get well

The best person to ask is your doctor who would probably have to give you a referal, and then fax over your records, Otherwise, you may have to go through a lengthy intake process wherever you decide to go. Most hospitals have an alcohol and substance abuse treatment center and that's where I went. The insurance I had at the time, paid for it in full, including the aftercare counseling I received.

God Bless

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
