I need to be closed off in rehab, cocaine is everywhere

It sounds like you are facing a challenging situation and it is great that you are open about the need for help. Acknowledging that you need support is an important first step on the road to recovery.

It’s understandable that you might feel overwhelmed if you find cocaine «everywhere». Avoiding drugs in an environment where they are very much available can be challenging, but there are strategies and resources that can help. It can be helpful to identify situations or people that can lead to temptation, and try to avoid these as much as possible. Finding alternative activities and interests that bring joy and meaning can help keep your focus away from drugs.

Having a strong support system is also important. This could include friends, family, a good colleague or a trusted advisor. They can give you support and encouragement if you feel tempted or need someone to talk to. In Norway, there are various offers for those who want help with drug addiction, including treatment centers and rehabilitation programmes. We recommend you to talk to your GP (fastlege) about what options are available to you. The GP can refer you to relevant treatment options and give advice on what would be most appropriate in your situation.
