Open Question: Where is there good outpatient drug rehab in NY?

Filed under: Methadone Detox

I am 20 years old and live at home with my parents. In order for me to continue living with them and have them support me financially, I have to get clean. I have to get off of heroin and I know that getting off of it won’t be pretty and I may end up going to a detox center. But then again, I don’t want to get addicted to the crap they feed me for the withdrawals, like methadone or suboxone. Anyway, I don’t really want to get clean, but I don’t want to be homeless, so I’ll play this little bulls.h.i.t game with my parents. I’m pretty much just gonna find an outpatient place, because I convinced them that I don’t need a 28 day inpatient or whatever, but if I can get away with still using, I probably will. And I know at least one person is going to say something along the lines of “You have to get clean for you, not for anyone else. It will never work if you are being forced into it.” And, honestly, I agree. I don’t want to get clean, but my desire to have a house, a car, a place to sleep, a hot shower, food, school, and all the other things I would lose if they cut me off financially, is stronger than my desire to shoot up. There was most definitely a time that I would choose the heroin, but I’m gonna try to be smart about this and do what they say, have a good girl image, while all the while still doing drugs behind their backs. Soooooooo, my question is: Do you know of any decent outpatient drug facilities in NYC or Long Island?? Preferably one targeted at young adults (NOT teens) but this is not necessary. I would also like to go to a place that does not force you to be drug tested. I’m not court mandated and I am over 18, so I don’t think they are allowed to tell my parents the results anyway, but still, I hate peeing in a cup. And I REALLY hate having to pee in front of someone. Do they make you do this in all outpatients? I mean, if I’m going voluntarily they can’t force me, right? Or will they kick me out if I refuse to give testings? Thank you, and I would appreciate any advice. P.S. Please don’t comment with some trolling bs, or any negative comments like calling me a junkie or something. Yeah, I guess I am a junkie, but I really don’t care. And don’t say something like, you’re going to die if you don’t stop, because that is bs. People dramatize the stuff, and I know how to handle it so I don’t o.d. I’ve been doing this for years and I’m not going to be convinced by some answer on yahoo not to do it, so don’t waste your time.
