I walked out early on every session I had with the self righteous, condescending social worker at my most recent detox. My "assigned staff member" would tell me "you should stay for the whole thing, you'll get out of here quicker". Jackass, it's not about getting out fast, its about getting out well and sober. As it is I got out when I was detoxed physically but far from well, and went right back to the needle at the earliest opportunity.
By constrast, I had one therapist that I loved to go to, I hated the fact insurance only allowed me 10 visits. Well, sometime between visit 5-6, he committed, himself. Where does one go for help when apparantly the helpers are all more fucked than I am?
