I have recently had to deal with women who are doing meth and stripping and want out. Right now we have them go to detox and a 28 day in patient program, then have them follow up with Celebrate Recovery.
I don't really like NA and AA programs, since you have to speak curses over your life (I am an addict) and CR has you say I am a child of God working on my addiction issues- which is the truth!
and CR has same sex groups, which with all the issues sex workers have I think is better....
But I am not fond of the idea you have to go to meetings forever! There comes a point when you should have the tools to cope and not need to go have your hand held....when would that point be and how would you know?
I am trying to get some input from people who have recovered and see if Iam off base here
(I have been clean for almost 30 years, never went to any of this stuff, so I need some comparisons)
Thanks you guys!!!!
