Kasey,
Was there any follow-up to your treatment? There should be some form of an aftercare plan in which you would continue to receive addiction services. Treatment for addiction is usually only successful when there is long-term relapse prevention.
I recommend you return to that program right away and admit you're still using, and follow their suggestions. If you continue to feel depressed and suicidal and are unable to see a counselor there, please go to your local hospital emergency room.
Please do this, OK?
