i feel like making rehab fun should be the bare minimum. a bunch of people with impulse control issues starting at the wall and meditating? what a nightmare. riding horses, gardening, being in community with your loved ones sounds like something that would heal your soul
i know katya would probably laugh in my face if she heard me say this but she truly is an inspiration. she’s so strong and she’s dealing with it all so well while making incredibly funny jokes. she’s truly remarkable
I know that Katya confiding in St. Miss Fame on season 7 happened on a reality TV set, but watching those 2 people being vulnerable and gentle with each other sincerely inspired me as a teen. It's not an exaggeration to call Katya an inspiration
Going into any treatment center is hard because you really do see who is truly there for you in your worst moments and in need of the most support. I'm glad Katya is doing better and has people like Trixie in her life! We love you, Katya!
I went to rehab when I was 22…my parents didn’t come. It was so heartbreaking. They were active alcoholics and couldn’t not drink for the day. Much love to both of you…I know both the pain and shame of active addiction and the harsh reality of facing life sober. I’ve been sober for nearly 30 years now (yes I’m old) and am profoundly grateful for it. You’ll be in my heart Katya, you are worthy and loved. I recently lost my teenage son to mental illness and so understand the powerlessness and pain that some people experience. You are a beautiful human being, inside and out and I so hope you continue to recover. ❤
never been to rehab but I've been in the hospital a LOT and mannn, that cool recessed "reading" light feels like it's custom designed to make you depressed and angry at the same time.
We love you Katya!!! She has every right to feel disappointed and upset when the people you feel close to suddenly do not support you at your low-points. Recovery is a delicate process, you're amazing girl.
I made the mistake of buying cool temp lightbulbs for my kitchen and i immediately felt like I was gonna get murdered or die during an operation. It felt so medical and sterile and depressing. I exchanged them as soon as possible.
😢I went to rehab, stayed 4 months, and have been clean and sober for 10 years, You have to be truly ready to stop using and committed to create a new life.
So happy to see Katya out of rehab!! I really hope she is doing good and that her recovery is going amazing! I have been to 4 rehabs as well and now finally i have 6 years clean off heroin and meth. Seeing Katya be so open and honest about her struggles and her recovery has been really inspiring! Ill be sending good vibes her way! Good for Trixie for being such an amazing friend! That's so important in recovery.
This is a good segment. I wouldn’t have thought to visit someone in rehab because I always thought it was meant to be private, and also because I would feel like they would be ashamed of me seeing them there. If any of my friends ever go to rehab I’m for sure visiting. Thank you Katya, and hope you have a lasting and beautiful recovery ❤️
Okay call me whatever u want, I can feel the joy of reuniting radiating from these biological women. Katya is glowing & I know Trixie is happy to have her back. Love these two so MUCH!!!
I didn't go to rehab, but I did go on a very locked-down grippy sock vacay in 2020, so I wasn't allowed visitors. But you better BELIEVE I remember who called to talk to me on the phone. I don't hold grudges about who did and didn't contact me, since I wasn't there for a long time, but MY GOD did those phone calls break up the days and bring so much joy and life back into them. People have no idea how much it means, for real. It's SO powerful. (Also, I totally feel that "get me out of here" vibe--the entire last day I was in that place, I could not sit still to save my life. "Here, sit down and color this mandala." MAMA I WILL SCREAM)
I've been so amazed by Katya's journey through all this. My dad is battling cancer so I truly know what it's like to realise who is ACTUALLY there for you and which of these people are fake ass bitches only there for a good time. Love and strength to our favourite biological woman ❤❤❤
i worked at a rehab as a mental health tech and honestly it was the best job i ever had. i got to know so many amazing people and it makes me so emotional when i see them afterwards and they are doing well (one of my former patients just got employee of the month at his job). i hated the facility and the management but i stayed for the patients. katya sharing their rehab experience is so deeply important and appreciated. they are truly a light in the world and comfort so many people.
Katya, I am so proud of you! I lost someone to alcoholism who couldn’t handle one day of rehab and left (he was there voluntarily and couldn’t handle the reality it wasn’t a rehab resort) Meanwhile, you, darling, are so strong to handle 30 days and come out in recovery. You are amazing! Keep it going girl!
Thank you guys for making this. I just relapsed almost a week ago...and I can't even explain how much it helps to see that I'm not the only one that struggles sometimes. I'm proud of you, Brians. For continuing to try, and for being a good friend. Thank You
So that white noise machine is required by their accreditation organization. They actually think it’s protecting patient privacy. (All they really do is drive everyone crazy. At my clinics, we only run them when CARF shows up)
I go to ketamine therapy regularly and the techs laugh that they always have to plug the white noise machine back in when I leave. I can hear that thing over my headphones! It's wild! It always sounds like an engine idling outside the building or something.
I honestly had no idea visiting people while they’re in rehab was a thing?! I thought they were going to get away from people while they recover. This was a PSA for me. Now I know. ✨makes note to visit friends in rehab knowing full well I have no friends✨
So glad to see Katya back! So happy she made it through rehab. Excellent 'cast, I laughed so hard at the jokes that I had to watch twice because I lost the plot.
Sometimes rehab is for when you're about to fall off as well, and somehow that's just as hard. I've been sober for years and I have so much love and respect for Katya for being open about it, so many people don't talk about it but you help others when you do!
dude, we love you. so much! Personally, I dont give a shit about money or rescheduled tour dates or anything like that. I give a shit about you, and I‘m glad you do too ❤
Recovery is possible: I will have 8 years in January; but like Katya, I've had more than one vice. Thank you as ALWAYS Queen Katya for being so real & open about Recovery, as recovery isnt always linear ✌️&❤️ candid discussion like this makes it easier for others to also be as emotionally articulate about their own journeys.
Everyone gets it wrong so for clarification: an irish exit is where you leave unannounced/ sneak away from a party etc An irish goodbye is where you say you're leaving and are forced to have another drink and say goodbye to everyone (possibly twice) . It can also be used to describe the way we end phonecalls (saying 'bye' at least 5-10 times)
That's too confusing to be so similar and yet complete opposite.

To be fair, when my friend was in rehab I consciously made the choice to not visit him because I was present during many times of him doing drugs (as a spectator), so I didn’t want him to get triggered by me.
Honestly i can understand that katya is frustrated with friends who didnt show up. I was also down to handful of people during MDD treatment. Ppl gotta know it is so weird not to contact a friend going through something rather than thinking it’s weird to contact cuz this person is in a “weird situation i dk how to handle it”. FUCK EM KATYA 6 is a great number if friends
never been to rehab but i have been to the hospital a lot. it's so isolating and the only lifelines i had were my phonecalls and visits from my parents. i would have lost my ENTIRE mind if i didn't have regular visitors
0:57 Katya, I feel this deeply 😂 Very lovely of Trixie to visit ❤ and to facetime so often! About the suppose friends: a great realisation to have. Painful but so so important ❤
Getting visitors when you are in rehab is SO important. (And I'm an introvert who doesn't even really like other people. LOL) I don't know if I could have gotten through the full 28 days if I didn't have visitors. One of the problems with inpatient treatment is that it's nothing but talk about your addiction and your trauma, 24/7, non-stop. You need a break! Being able to visit with people and just talk about stupid stuff like movies and TV and celeb gossip helps you from going completely insane.
I can see Katya trying to Irish goodbye her way out of the rehab. I only do Irish goodbyes. Thank you Katya for sharing you sobriety journey with us. I am rooting for you. 🌈🌈🌈
This honestly kinda helps me feel better about my own feelings about my inpatient stays. It's been a long time but two people bothered to come visit me, and one only visited the first time. I've always felt awful and selfish for feeling hurt by that.
The way Trixie and Katya described the decor of the rehab seems so descriptive…but that’s literally every rehab in LA. I’ve been to enough to make this claim. 😂
I changed all my warm light bulbs to cool 😂 as someone who suffers from seasonal affective disorder the cool white lightbulbs help a lot especially during the dark months
After my mom had a head surgery her mental health rapidly deteriorated. Then she had a stroke and has been bed ridden ever since. Family and "friends" scattered to the wind. Nobody wants to take the time to call or visit but, boy oh boy, was everyone ready to party with us back when she was a social butterfly! People suck. 🤬
So proud of you for sharing so much of yourself and doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. Nothing else is as important. I'm happy for you that you know what you need to do to be healthy and you take the steps for recovery.... even through the stogie. Keep going because so many of us love you and are so proud of you!
It's weird how when Trixie is out of her Drag costume - she's totally a different person, but Katya without her Drag costume is still Katya..... lol ))))
I think a lot of people don’t know how to respond to the rehab environment. Trixie hits on it here, but many people think rehab is like jail, that people aren’t allowed to have a phone or visitors, that you have to be on a list and searched on the way in and out… or, alternately, that the rehab is packed activities and that the person is meant to be isolating and working on themselves in such a way that the outside world is not welcome. It doesn’t surprised me that many people do not come visit their friends and loved ones in rehab because they simply do not understand that they are welcome.
