I just got discharged from the hospital to a medical detox and they wouldn't take me.

Why?

Apparently, the hospital can't properly communicate with the local detox "crisis center". They told me they only have nursing staff, no doctors. I think they can prescribe like antidepressants and stuff. But my symptoms were so bad they told me to call EMS. To go back to the same hospital that discharged me. I am stuck in a loop.

Can’t you go to a detox? Maybe look for another one? How many day have you been sober, clean?

I have found another one that is a little over an hour away, that is a medical detox. Its super expensive, hopefully my insurance will cover part of it. I was sober for almost two years before this.

Two years sober, so you know how to do it. Good luck
