I Am 20, Trying to Get Into Impatient Rehab but Don’t Know What It’s Classified as and I Don’t Have Insurance.?

Question by Spooner: I am 20, trying to get into impatient rehab but don’t know what it’s classified as and I don’t have insurance.?
I’m not looking for drug rehab or alcohol rehab.
I’m mentally unstable: suicidal
I just generally need impatient care where I can focus on getting myself better. I need to be away from my family and friends because I lie about how I feel habitually to make everyone happy, or what I feel will make it easier on them. I feel insane and really want to get help, but I don’t have insurance and I’m not sure what you have to be like to get impatient care. I’m afraid of myself and what I will do because where as I’m quite intelligent and able to look at myself and see what others can see, my emotions are taking over and I terrified that I will lose my logical/rational self to the blackness and numbness I feel and kill myself. This isn’t where I need suicide help, that is only a effect of the real problem, a problem I’m not sure how to ask for help with. I tried one on one therapy but it did not work for me. I need to step back with my life, go seek help that will specialize in helping me understand, and where I can focus on the underlying problems. I am looking for Ohio rehab centers, but don’t know because of my money prob (no insurance). I have a history of sexual abuse, which is probably where these problems have originated from. I apologize for the randomness of this post, but I’m not sleeping much and my mind is generally gone. Blackness and fuzzy thick thoughts are all I feel for the most part.

Is It Legal for an Employer to Make an Employee Leave a Inpatient Drug Treatment Center Early?

Question by ricker712: Is it legal for an employer to make an employee leave a inpatient drug treatment center early?
I was in an inpatient treatment center and my employer made me leave early to keep my job. I was in there for 4 weeks and wanted to stay for 90 more days in which i was able to leave for work everyday. All I needed my employer to do was switch me with a summer help employee. The summer help comes every may to help anyone that needs time off. My employer refused to switch me with another employee that agreed to switch with me. Now 1 year later I recieved a drug test and my employer fired me for drug use when they didn’t provide the correct treatment for my needs. Is that legal is my question and if not who should I contact to help me with this situation? Me and my employer signed a contract saying I would complete a treatment program for this and they went agaisnt what was signed. If anyone has any information that’d help me out please let me know, Thanks alot for anything that you could help me out with

Best answer:

Could I Have Mastocytosis or MCAS?

Question by Rusty: Could I have Mastocytosis or MCAS?
I have struggled with gastrointestinal problems for years: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, painful radiating abdominal cramps. I saw a pediatric gastroenterologist when I was an adolescent (I am now 22) and was checked for Crohn’s disease, ulcers, bacterial infections, etc. I am hypersensitive to foods (dairy, greasy or oily foods, high fat content foods) and sometimes get sick after heat and high activity exposure. Usually when I eat these foods, I get stomach pain that develops into diarrhea or nausea very quickly, sometimes before I am even done with the meal. I also was diagnosed with acid reflux disease and have unexplained bone pain and dizzy spells sporadically. When I was younger I used to get LARGE, red, itchy hives across my stomach area for unexplained reasons, but have not seen any in years. I was wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis (particularly that affecting the GI) and would like to know how and if I should get tested for this disease?
