    Rehab SUCKS. I've been to the best and the worst and they're all fucking miserable. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE

This kind of blows my mind. Like, I'm not surprised, it just goes against all I know about healing - But I know why, too.

At a certain level (some more conscious than others), people believe addicts deserve to suffer. Even the people working in those facilities - Sometimes especially those people. But it's so wrong. we know a lot more about addiction now, family history, environmental factors, psychological factors - It's not just a "this is this person's own fault".

And even if it was, so what? Some idiot breaks their leg doing something stupid, we don't fucking poke at it, or leave their food out of reach so that they have to shuffle over to it.

anyways, that was just what came to mind as I was reading your message.
