Could I Get Out of Doing a 16 Week Drug Class by Goin to Rehab for 30 Days?
Question by : Could I get out of doing a 16 week drug class by goin to rehab for 30 days?
I’m on probation for possession of marijuana in VA; I was ordered to go to a treatment center to complete an assessment, and although I lied and made it seem like I wasn’t a heavy marijuana user, I was still ordered to complete a 16 week substance abuse class. We get tested weekly and our urine is sent to a lab. So not only can I not smoke pot, I also can’t even drink alcohol (which in my opinion is far worse than pot). I just had my 21st birthday a couple of months ago and I’m constantly being invited to bars, now that it’s legal for me to go. But “nope, sorry guys, I’m not allowed to drink”. I think it’s bullsh*t, because I was only busted with less than half a gram of bud, and I have to do 6 months of probation, color code, and now this damn class. I called the 24 hour hotline thru this treatment center, and explained to them that I was in a lot of emotional pain, and that I really just wanted to smoke to numb the pain. They really couldn’t offer me any advice other than suggesting I go to an in-patient rehabilitation center. I blew it off, because nothing is going to make me NOT want to smoke. However, after thinking it over some more after I got off the phone, I’m wondering if I could do this rehab thing, and then not have to complete my 16 week class and get off probation early. I’ve thought about how to talk to the substance abuse counselor about it, saying such things as “my issues go so much more personal than I’d like to discuss in group, and I feel as though this would be extremely beneficial for me”. But the last thing I’d want is to go to rehab for a flippin month, and then still have to do this class once I was released from rehab. But I’m not so sure how to bring that up to her, without sounding like I’m using the rehab idea so I can smoke sooner and get around doing this freakin class. I also wouldn’t mind a vacation from my life as it currently is, so I could use the rehab to get away from temptation. But I don’t want to tell her that either. Help?

When you go in to rehab, and for that matter, when you finish the class that you are in, don’t they randomly drug test you? I think that they know that people want to get the test/course over with so that they can get back to smoking again. It’s human nature. I knew a young lady who went through in patient drug therapy (for oxycontin, but she also used weed). She had a problem in that it was her father who was her source. He used oxy (not weed), but as he transported weed for a living, he had access to everything. He had been my best friend, and a really decent person until he started snorting oxy. It changed his personality. Anyway, he did lines of oxy, and gave some to his daughter.
She did a lot of weed, E, and oxy. I used to use Medical Marijuana (not to get high), in very low doses to control seizures (my doctors had said that they had no medicines to offer me, and had told me to go home and die). His wife also had used it medically (she never got stoned either). She had a pinched nerve in her spine and was allergic to all Rx pain meds. The local police let you live in peace if you have no choice but to use marijuana. They leave cancer pateints alone also. Decent folk. We like them, take the sex perverts off of the streets. This man gave me my marijuana for cheap. He let me live in his home, food, rent, utilities, everything, unlimited marijuana, transportation, medical care.
He had saved my life a few times.
