What Goes on During a Scientologist “Security Check?”?

Question by Steven: What goes on during a Scientologist “Security Check?”?
There’s a rumor going down amongst Scientology watchers involving a woman named Mary Rieser, the director of Narconon Georgia (a Scientologist drug rehab center that was sued for the death of a Marine Corps veteran and is now facing an insurance fraud investigation). Mary Rieser stepped down as director and rumor has it that’s she’s at a place called “Flag” (Scientology’s megachurch in Florida) and is “getting sec-checked within an inch of her life.”

After some Googling, I found out that “sec-checking” is Scientology-speak for “Security Check.”

What Are Your Opinions on Teen Challenge?

Question by Lady Tam: What are your opinions on Teen Challenge?
My 28 year old cousin has been abusing alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine for 15 years. Just as things seemed to be getting better, he quit his job (the best thing that’s happened to him in 28 years). He also suffers from Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

I have been researching Christian Drug and Alcohol inpatient treatment centers, and came across Teen Challenge. I’m curious as to whether or not the majority of people have had good or bad experiences coming out of this program.
Thanks!

Internet Access in Rehab?

Question by dovelin: Internet access in rehab?
Is internet access allowed while in rehab (drug and/or psychiatric)? I know it must depend on the center, but generally is it more of a yes or no? What are the limitations, etc? Or, could anybody direct me to a site where this info is discussed?

Thanks!

Most drug rehabs don’t even allow phone calls from the immediate family for the first week or more.

Most (93%) rehabs are crash courses in AA/NA dogma, like re-education camps, they do not want distractions to their programs and severely limit outside contact.

Answer by citlaly a
In a nutshell, medications help a lot in drug addiction treatment. They help in suppressing withdrawal symptoms. Having symptoms of withdrawal is mainly what makes it hard for a patient to quit doing drugs on his own. Thus, medication that will be able to free the person from these symptoms would matter much. Another reason why medicines are needed for addiction treatment is because it brings the patient’s brain functioning back to normal. It also restores the body to its healthy state.

Should I Be Worried My Dog Will Not Be the Same?

Question by yoohookitten: Should I be Worried my dog will not be the same?
I must do a 28 day inpatient drug rehab program. I am worried about leaving my dog. We are together 24/7. He trusts only me and listens to only me. He has other human friends that will be looking after him. Should I be so worried he will not respond to me as he does now?
