Recovery life

Found a gabapentin pill in a container of markers that children ages 4-9 were using to color at a Recovery/Sobriety Halloween event held at 712 Boggs Ave/Steps house program which children were welcome to attend.This was a Halloween event, it would not have taken much for a child to mistake it as candy, which was being given out.I brought the pill to a woman who brushed it off and said it wasn't ill-intent.When I was an addict, it wasn't ill-intent, but wrong is wrong.A man standing next to her said "that looks like gabapentin" a known abused prescription drug; she says"oh that is mine".The man shook his head and continued cleaning up, wasn't rude or nasty acting and showed some understanding to my disgust and frustration.Gave her her pill back with markers; My daughter doesn't need to be touching anything in there at this point. I walked back over to my daughter who asked for another marker, I told her she could finish it home, but realized it wasn't our coloring book. I walked over to a different person standing next to her, who kind of gave direction through out the event, different guy standing on the other side of the gabapentin lady, who witnessed me giving her pill and markers back, who later claimed to be the owner but gave no name, a few folks said this persons name was Jody McClurg. I asked him if I could keep the coloring book to take home to avoid any trouble from the same woman as I was beyond grossed out and disappointed and honestly extremely hard for me to even look at at this point, he pointed at the gabapentin lady and said I would have to ask her. I responded, " I'm sure she wouldn't mind" considering the whole pill mixed in with markers issue. Jody started laughing and scoffing and asked who I was there with, I told him I heard of this event through the recovery community and was there with just my daughter and I. Mr. Jody continued with "you know you already brought up your concerns and you need to leave, or you will be escorted out, it's not like you found heroine in the markers" which I responded that "you can insult me about my concerns and sweep it under the rug all you want but that comment right there is a prime example that shows Steps program, and you, really don't stand for anything relating to recovery, your pretty gross to justify the situation in that manner" definitely with a raised tone at this point He told me I was going to be escorted out again, I laughed and said nothing else to him, walked back over to my daughter, she gave the book back and we walked to the car. Jody continued to walk over to my vehicle and said "like I said it's not like you found heroine" continuing to justify the gross misconduct from the lady and him as he continued his way to his green jeep he easily didn't need to come near me to get to. His character said alot. To see the CEO/owner Jody McClurg of Steps house behave like this, standing firm on the mentality and to repeat 'it's not like you found heroine in the markers, go ahead and call who you want, I'm the coordinator and CEO' and to think no one else is going to know because he is 'top dog', and to continue to run his mouth after I got to my car and was leaving as asked to moments ago, says alot about the reoccurring wreckless behavior, gross misconduct and lack of accountability goes against everything a person considered a pillar in recovery and owner/operator of a recovery program/halfway house should stand for. I'm sure if there's any cameras there, what I am saying will be found as the truth, but I am also sure Mr. Jody controls that too Stay away from this place and the people who represent recovery under the Step house name because none of this is what true recovery and sobriety is about. Will not be back to events here as they are not safe for recovering addicts and children. It's known that many residents at Steps house are continuing addiction with justifications of "well the doctor prescribed it to me" as it is but to witness this from the owner, I now no longer wonder why. He's a slumlord over a halfway house at best. Shameful

Addiction Treatments

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
