My Mother Is Trying to Send Me to a Christian Based Teen Drug Abuse Treatment Center!!!?
Question by : My mother is trying to send me to a christian based teen drug abuse treatment center!!!?
Some information about myself : Well I am 17 and living in Trinidad (TT) ,I was born and partially raised in america ,but then we ended up moving to brazil when I was 5 (where my mother is originally from) ,then when I was 10 we moved back to the states ,And then finally when I was 14 we moved here; to Trinidad & Tabago.
I’ve had my share with drug abuse and currently doing minor drugs (Weed,Ecstasy,Alcohol) ,I will admit that.Do I want help? No. Am I going to have to get help? Sadly Yes. I am still legally a minor and if my mother wants me to go ,I have no other choice.
My problem is she is trying to send me to a treatment facility that is very religious ,and they try to teach and preach etc. I do not believe in god ,I dont believe in any of these man made religions.It’s nonsense ,it’s fairy tales,there’s no factual proof of his existence.I’ve come to an understanding of this ever since I was little,so this isn’t some “phase” or “cool” as some may say. I know what’s reality and not reality , many others are either stuck or just not in touch with reality and want to believe in God or Allah ,because there simply scared that there might be a “hell”,I really don’t blame them it stems from society ,there brain washed.
Anyway If I put up a fight ,I’m going to be detained by police and taken there,so it really doesn’t matter , because like i said I have no choice.
How can I try to make my mother at least place me at a drug abuse center that is not religious ?
I do not want to be stuck in a place for like 3 months and being told I need to allow god into my life, having to explain to mindless sheep as to why I don’t believe in there “god” etc.
I need advice from fellow atheists. Please 🙁

I think you just need to get off drugs. You should be grateful your mother is sending you anywhere.
I don’t believe your story, but if its true, you are likely making this up to get out of going to drug rehabilitation of any kind.
Hey yo- just do the program. Work the program…fake the religious stuff and think about getting your mind and body right. Learn your addiction triggers, why you choose to abuse, and ways that you can cope/alternative strategies. Get what you can out of it and keep and open mind.
you can’t make her
you can only ask her not to send you to a religious one

you could try very hard to explain to her that if she wants you to beat your drug addiction a secular rehab would be better than a religious one for you
Ecstasy is NOT a “minor drug”. You’re lucky it hasn’t killed you. Just tell her you don’t want to go to a religious place. If she still makes you go there, then honestly, just put up with it. I’m an atheist too (Same age as you, as a matter of fact) and I’d rather be stuck in a religious rehab facility than not be in one at all and end up dying young.
I agree, you need to get help. But I’ve also heard about some of these “Christian” rehab centers, they have a high track record of abuse. Find out the name of the place that your mom wants to send you to, and research it thoroughly. If you find they have a history of abuse, confront her with the evidence, and tell her you’re willing to try an another place. Otherwise, suck it up and accept it, the way you’re living now is not cool.
First of all, I think you should get off the drugs. If you don’t need help with that, then prove it to your mother and get them out of your life. If you do (and there’s absolutely no shame in that), talk to your mother and tell her you want to get help, but you disagree with the religious principles of the institution. Tell her you’d willingly seek help from any secular institution. Hopefully she’ll hear you.
I got help with my sober living by calling 877-263-3402 . It really helped me out?
