Hi to all,
I am new to this section of Psycho Babble.
I recently sought help from a local agency to help with my 10 year addiction to xanax,Zoloft, and 5 years of weekly Binge Drinking.
After my initial visit..I am now wondering if I opened a can of worms that I will regret.
My "counselor" coldy told me that I was an alcoholic, and drug addict..and that my Family MD was my enabler~ All in our first meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am scheduled today to see the "Psychiatrist" at the agency..and to be honest I am scared.
Here are my questions:
How much power can this Agency have over me?, I have self-referred myself to them all on my own.
I feel threatened already...and wonder if I should not go today..and just begin gradually cutting back on my xanax on my own..and eliminate drinking altogether ( I have already gone 8 days with no alcohol)
Can this agency "take over" and force me into a rehab program against my will??? ( I know that sounds paranoid,,,,but it is a concern I have)
The agency is a Community Mental Health Center.
Any help would be appreciated
BF
