[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 558387"] I think the advantage of an inpatientn rehab over iop is that you are immersed for the time you are there in recovery and you are in a situation where you really cant use... so you do get the drugs out of your system which may help some with physical type cravings. However harder than the physical cravings are the mental/emotional ones and those wont go away.... but hopefully a month of inpatient would give you the tools to deal with those feelings. However if you want it bad enough then I think an IOP would work as well... as does AA for many people. As far as your parents (from a different thread), it sounds to me like they are somewhat in denial about the seriousness of y our drug use... and in their mind and hope if you could pass your class this semester then it would show the drug use is really not so bad. That is just my take. And as a parent they are probably pretty frustrated at spending money on school to have you flunking your classes... and they may just seee this as your way of escaping. I would suggest to them they find an alanon meeting, especially one geared for parents. That helped me immensely. TL [/QUOTE]
