I Just Got Out of a Detox Center and Relapsed, What Should I Do?

Question by jessica: I just got out of a detox center and relapsed, what should I do?
Unfortunately, the detox center was very pricey and we aren’t made of money and I have NO insurance. I went in to detox from alcohol among some other harder drugs. When they released me, I was still withdrawing severely so I used and it did help. I just feel bad because it seems like the detox center was a waste of money. Should I go to rehab even if it’s expensive and my Mom would have to dip into her retirement or should I try NA or AA? Any kind advice appreciated. I didn’t choose to become an addict.

are there any ways to get help on your own without using her money ? state programs/ sliding fees / try a different place. do not give up . you can do this . i go on diets all the time and relapse with a slice of pie . i don’t mean to make light of your situation , just keep calling /researching /asking for help and try to get it on your own so that you don’t have to dip into mom’s retirmement.
