 Off Line

Ok folks, time to kick off the Aussie leg. To get it rolling, I’m asking for your input to help compile a list of ‘appropriate’ D & A rehab facilities.
For too long now we’ve been hearing our elected ‘authorities’ say that we’ll have a drug summit, or a steering committee, or that they know that it’s a huge problem. The problem IS that they just say the words and do nothing about it.
Unfortunately they think that 2 weeks in a detox is the cure-all. They DON’T mention that it takes 4 weeks to get into a 2 week detox. About as good as t_ts on a bull. When you’re ready to detox, you need it immediately, not in 4 weeks time. Come time to go into the detox, you’re either dead, or back using again, and without the will-power to kick it.
Here in Australia, there is a distinct LACK of long-term rehab, and I’m not talking two or three month, but more like 12 months. Addiction is a life-style habit, and you’re not going to change that around in 3 months.
Addiction is also NOT restricted by age, culture, social-economic environment, or employee – it affects everyone. I’m so sick and tired of politicians point-scoring by targeting youth as the only ones affected. That’s why I hid my own addiction for so long, because I was supposed be ‘adult’ and ‘mature’, and it was fear of discovery that kept me trapped for so long.
So please, let’s break the myth of the stereo-type addict, and let’s look to compiling a list of good long term facilities that provide assistance for the whole spectrum.
Oops, had better get off this soap-box
Look forward to hearing from you.
