We are not a 12-step program, instead our program combines counseling and group therapy with medically supervised counter conditioning treatments and rehabilitation interviews. Our hospital is also unique in that we allow patients to have visitors, laptops, and cellphones while a patient. Schick Shadel believes that chemical dependency is a medical problem that should be treated as such, which is why we employ a team of doctors, nurses, and counselors to help patients transition into a life of sobriety.

Okay, I'll stop now.Schick Shadel Hospital offers medical detox and inpatient treatment for people living with drug or alcohol addiction. Sheesh! Don't even tell me I know how crazy-making that thinking is. Isn't that sad to think of? That I allow my self-worth to be valued by whether an alcoholic becomes sober. There's a part of me that wants to prove everyone wrong. We're going to talk about my mother, which is giving me a sinking feeling just thinking about doing that. I know I'm too forgiving, I don't expect enough, and I deserve much more. In theory, I know that what my sister says is true, but it's hard to pound it into my head when I have the day-to-day life to live and almost 18 years with my partner, who has not only told me she loves me but has proven it to me many times.Īnd, yet, she's proven to me many more times how much alcohol is more important to her than my feelings or our relationship.

I told her that I know my AP really loves me, and she snapped back with, "No she doesn't! She's not capable of loving you she doesn't love herself!" Having trouble today, I think, because of a conversation I had with my sister yesterday. Put myself in this "limbo land" position, even though I know it's the worst place to be. Its not up to you to decide what if any treatment program she enters now is it? So let it be. Sorry for the rant, but it's on my mind this morning and just wanted to get as much feedback as I could. So, I think I've kind of trapped myself to allow her at least this one effort. Clinic & Center Description: Schick Shadel Hospital offers a substance use treatment program with a 24/7 phone hotline. I don't have any faith in their program, but I guess I'm stuck with sticking out the attempt since I told her "I'll support you in your recovery effort." I don't want to dictate how she recovers. I get the feeling that when summer is over and it's time for her to do something about getting sober, she's going to declare that she wants to go to Shick-Shadel. So, of course, I now know more about Shick-Shadel than she does, but since it's been about two weeks since she mentioned it, I haven't brought it up again. So, of course, the first thing I did when she mentioned Shick-Shadel was to go online and read every word on their site, searched old threads on SR, etc. If I overhear a conversation on the bus about an author, I'll go to the bookstore and find something by that author to see if I'm intrigued. If I see a pretty butterfly, I'll go online and look it up. My nature is to thoroughly research everything that interests me. Founded in 1935, Burien, Washington-based Schick Shadel calls itself the oldest hospital exclusively devoted to treating substance abuse in the country. If she brings it up, is it okay to discuss it? It's a fine line to realize how much to talk about treatment options with the A in your life. It's only 10 days, so not so much time off work. Personally, I can't even imagine it working for anyone, but I think she's interested in it because:ġ.
