I just got back from a rehabilitation, for mental disorders. It got my life somewhat back in control, not fully but I’m getting there. When you go there you will have therapy sessions and talk to other people that are going through the same problem as you. Stop drinking while you are young. It’s a bad thing to try and stop later in life. You may have a room mate or you may have a room by yourself, it’s just based on the way the center is set up. They probably will take blood, so that you will be medically cleared. They had to draw blood from me several times but at different places, to get medically cleared and then just to check if anything was wrong with me. I don’t like them either, but just take deep breaths and relax, also don’t look at it when they are taking it. Stay strong and stay sober.

They do something or the other from mental health point of view only. Here everything is discussed about it only. They generally mind their own business. In order to straighten, wherever there are dents; they may adopt dent-beating methods, mildly.
