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.
The Lady evaluating me wouldn’t let me speak and disagreed with answers to her questions.
She’d disagree and circled what she thought regardless what I said as if she was brain washing me. Well I’ve learned well to read body language and I pointed some of those out when she said lies and she stared me in the eye and lied.
Is this a sexist comment…”Just man up and go through with it” If i was female that wouldn’t have applied to me. You know this is America and we have rights, I feel like I have a case. ?
I’ll take your advice and to that but I’ll re post this question in the correct section, as I didn’t realize it was posted here thanks a lot for replying that put a smile on my face knowing there’s somebody out there that agrees with me.

Wow, people like her are the reason why I’ve come to despise western medicine. If she’s being that rude and won’t even listen to you then she’s definitely not doing her job correctly. It’s supposed to be an industry of CARE. You should speak to her supervisor because you really shouldn’t be treated like that. But in the future if anyone asks if you’ve done any drugs, as long as you’re not addicted or anything, just say that you haven’t. It makes things much easier and it’s not like they’re going to do a background search or test you or anything.
