The Hello Someday Podcast For Sober Curious Women Ep. 290: Scared to Try Rehab? Real Talk On Inpatient, Outpatient, Detox, And Recovery Options For Women with Jana Wu
Let’s be honest: the decision to go into a treatment program can feel terrifying. You’re juggling work, kids, a million invisible tasks—and the idea of raising your hand and stepping away (even briefly) can feel impossible. What if people judge you? What if your boss notices? What if your partner uses it against you? What if the moms at the bus stop whisper?
Here’s the truth I wish someone had told me: the fear of getting help is almost always louder than the reality of it. I was much more worried about what people might think if I stopped drinking than I ever was about showing up hungover on a Tuesday. (Make it make sense, right?)
To pull back the curtain and demystify treatment, I sat down with Jana Wu, Director of Clinical Integration at Mountainside Treatment Center and a mom in recovery who’s helped women navigate every pathway: detox, inpatient, PHP, IOP, outpatient, medication—without shame and without blowing up their lives.
I asked Jana to share how to choose the right level of care, what modern programs actually look like, and how families can support—not sabotage—your healing.
