The podcast features Mat Pierce who has gone into treatment and discusses his experience with the rules and regulations. I was hoping to move up to phase two, which would allow me to have my headphones and phone in between group sessions. However, I was told that the staff and community would have to approve my request, which frustrated me. I express my frustration with the rigid rules of the treatment center and how it hinders my recovery at times. I feel like I am not being heard or supported and am worried that my negative thoughts might cause me to be kicked out of the program.
