[wishingicouldquit]

to all of you who have responded to my posts, thank you for your support, i am finally to the point where i can begin my recovery, i called this mornin' to check on a bed at a detox facility ( i have been on the wait list for 2 days) and they told me that at the latest i am scheduled for 9am tomorrow.....but there is someone being discharged tonight, i have to call back at 11am and they will tell me for sure when i can comein, so it could be just hours before i dont have to use anymore!!! thank you JESUS!!!! my question to you guys is what can i expect at a medical detox, what will they help me with, and what can i expect after i get out in 6 days?thank you all

For those first 6 days (since I have been) well first 3 they give you meds in morning 1 valium and something help w/cramps (legs etc) then lunch another valium and leg meds again then bed time sleeping meds usually trazadone and leg meds that first 3 days 4th day start ween off that stuff 5th almost off everything 6th usually write you scripts to go home with nothing narc usually stuff help sleep etc...

Congrats on going to detox tomorrow. I've never checked myself into detox, because I went through that at home by myself -- but you have to put your trust in all the medical professionals that'll be taking care of you while you're there. They still have their jobs for a reason!  <3  Best of luck to you -- do you know how long you're going to be there?

I can't answer your question but wanted to wish you the best of luck. Just remember to stay strong and push through the hard times. Make sure you finish the 6 days and seek aftercare once you are done with the detox. Best of luck!
