Can I Fight a “diagnosis?” [Alcohol/drugs]?

Question by Cesar: Can I fight a “diagnosis?” [Alcohol/drugs]?
Ok so I went to a drug/alcohol evaluation. I answered various answers of previous drug use.
The woman told me I have to do 6mo out-patient, cause I clearly have cannabis,alcohol and opiod problem.

I have not done drugs in a year or drank alcohol I’ve had realizations of this, I left my so called friends, and all of it behind. I do not have time or money to do go through this. I have my family and my own priorities to take care of. I abused drugs in the past to help me with social anxiety. Well I took it head on and have improved various social skills, I can now speak up and I feel as if this is being forced upon me.

What Happens at a Drug Abuse (Rehab) Class?

Question by that 1 chick: What happens at a drug abuse (rehab) class?
Had a random drug test at work today. I may or may not pass. I’ve been there over a year and I know the bosses like me too much to fire me. I talked to a friend that works there and she said its happened before. They didn’t get fired but they made this person do “rehab” (aka drug abuse class)
I was wondering, what the heck do you do in there? Is it like school? How long will it last? How often am I gonna get drug tested?
If you’ve ever experienced that, let me know what goes down. Greatly appreciated.
