I just found out that my best friend in the entire world is going to rehab. She didn't even tell me. My ex boyfriend told me. I haven't cried this hard in so long. I don't know why she's going. I don't know where she's going. I don't know how long she's going to be there. I don't know if I'm going to be able to talk to her, or if shes scared, or crying, or if she needs me. I don't know if she's okay. I don't know how to deal with this...

Are you glad she is getting rehab? There is plenty of time to find out why she didn't tell you. The important thing is that she is getting help.

She's in a safe place...they usually don't let anyone have contact for a few weeks, so don't be scared if you don't hear from her for a while. Do you know of someone who will have contact? Her parents, or whoever took her there??

Contact with the facility, I mean.

It's good that your friend is getting help. Starfish is right - she won't be allowed any contact with friends, etc to start with.

Perhaps this is a time that you could use to deal with some addictions so that you are better able to support her and be with her when she is in recovery?
