What Should I Say at an Alcohol/drug Evaluation to Avoid Rehab?
Question by Anonymous: What should I say at an alcohol/drug evaluation to avoid rehab?
[rewrite]I recently got in some legal trouble, not involving any drugs or alcohol, and now have to be on probation for a bit. I went to probation yesterday for the first time and met with a woman who asked about family history, alcohol/drug history, and such. I didn’t lie on anything, and told her I drink once a week with friends on the weekend, and just quit smoking marijuana a month ago. She now wants me to get an alcohol/drug evaluation and says they might require a rehab program for me! I, in now way, shape, or form need a rehab program, and really wish I would have just lied about it! What should I say at the evaluation in order to keep myself from having to enter a program?
