ight so i been to treatment before years ago. im kinda clean rite now but totally gonna relapse and i never went thru the steps really or any of the program before bc i didnt care.
now i set up an intake/assessment/evaluation appointment wit a local treatment facility for tuesday, it is outpatient only but they do have an inpatient place located elsewhere
If you think you have problem, you should get some help. Recovery through the NA program involves working the 12 steps with a sponsor and going to meetings. I hope you can get to a meetings soon.
In patient treatment can buy you some time away from the streets If you can stay clean for the duration of treatment than that's something you can build on. At some point your going to have face life out in the real world and that's where NA comes in The biggest mistake i see alot of people make is that they put off getting to a meeting after rehab. Give yourself a break...get to a meeting the same day you get out of rehab and keep going everyday, at least one meeting a day for the first 90 days. It's a suggestion that has helped alot of people. Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing.
Keep Coming Back. Many of us tried everythng possible to get clean before surrendering in Narcotics Anonymous. Treatment centers both inpatient and outpatient, jails, religion, friends, family, self help books and seminars, substititing one drug for another. I was "cured" multiple times according to some treatment centers, including 6 months inpatient.
Nothing worked long term for me until in desperation I stumbled in the doors of NA Meetings. NA makes one promise to every addict; you never have to use again if you don't want to. That's a powerful promise, something I didn't believe possible. I had no choice before finding NA. Using was my way of life. I tried many times many ways to quit using yet always ended up loaded again. Until one night at an NA meeting a Miracle happened and I've been Clean ever since. One Day at a Time it works, about 10,960 One Day at a Times Clean today through the Grace of a Higher Power of my understanding and the Power of NA. The power of one addict helping another is truly without parallel.
Keep Coming Back. NA Works if you want it and work it. Whether you make it through the doors of NA now or later, Keep Coming Back. You don't have to go to another treatment center before coming to NA Meetings, go today. Or not, your choice. We'll be here when you're ready.
Just don't die out there before discovering the Miracle that is NA! Too many do.

If you think you're an addict, stop by a meeting. In the meanwhile, read our pamphlet called "Am I an Addict?" and answer the questions. (you can find it at na.org)
I spend $15,000 of the taxpayers' money to find out that NA meetings are free. Everything I needed, aside from the initial detox, was found in my homegroup. That's just me...
