Eval on Tuesday, getting nervous

Nurses Recovery

Published

Hi everyone,

A little update first. I had an appt in Tampa, but thanks to the recommendations of others I have made an appointment in Gainesville. I've been clean for 2 weeks, and because my use was inconsistent and I was only taking something when I couldn't handle my own back pain I was using infrequently, so I didn't experience withdrawal. So as I prepare for my eval on Tuesday I am faced with the same anxiety's that has been nagging at me all along, inpatient therapy. I feel like I've spent so much time reading and everything I come across says everyone is recommended for inpatient, whether it's needed or not. How can this be? I just don't get it. I'm grasping at straws here, but has anyone heard of anyone in Florida not getting inpatient? And if it takes weeks to get your recommendation then that's just more clean time, so how can they say you need intensive inpatient when you can demonstrate you're capable of functioning as a clean adult?

Uuuugh, I am going to make myself crazy by Tueday 😞

It sounds like they will probably recommend an outpatient thing at most plus the contract. As far as the contract itself, i don't know. Those tend to lean towards the boilerplate, but that is just my opinion. I think you got a much fairer, realistic shake than if you had gone to Tampa.

Just keep remembering to breathe and know that the hardest part is over.

Please keep us all posted.

I am so relieved, and so glad you recommended Gainesville! I got a good feeling from them. I'm just relieved the eval is over, that took a huge weight off my shoulders!

Good luck and positive vibes on your journey
