I received my recommendations from IPN

MFTinRN · Aug 9, 2017

Hey guys. So my situation was diversion, caught, admitted to it and allowed to retain my employment and take time from work with an LOA if I reported myself to IPN. So I reported myself Jun 28th, the day after the occurrence. It took 3 weeks to get into an evaluator and another 2 weeks for IPN to get my recommendations. I got the call from my case manager yesterday informing me that the recommendations from my evaluation are for partial patient hospitalization. He also recommended Vivatrol injections monthly once I've been clean for 30 says and today makes day 34 (ðŸ™Œ) . Honestly I felt like I'd felt better having been clean for a month and in many ways I do. But I still have terrible insomnia, crazy dreams that involve looking for drugs (Percs and Norco were my DOC) that I think I lost, and I wake up sweating profusely and anxious. I got clean for about 6 months and relapsed, it wasn't near as bad as it was when I was using before. Honestly I needed tx back then. Withdrawal was horrible the first time I got clean, I quit at home on my own after quitting a job that was crushing my soul in hopes of getting clean and pursuing my dream of being a trauma nurse. I promised myself I'd never use again but if course that didn't happen. No physical withdrawal this time, thank God. I'm relieved to have my recommendations finally, although not too excited about doing going away for 4 weeks. From what I've been told you reside at the facility but aren't locked down basically as with detox and inpatient. It's in between inpatient and outpatient. Has any one done this type of program? Also, I'm Florida. Any information or tips you guys have would be helpful!!
