[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 680075, member: 20051"] Anxiety is a common complaint because addicts want benzos (xanax, klonopin, ativan) becasue they increase the intensity of the high from opiates, or help those trying to get off heroin with methadone get high. RN, that is exactly what sober living is supposed to do. It is supposed to help them learn to live and function in the community while maintaining their sobriety. You do know the truth, though, that no one will maintain their sobriety unless they really want to. Triggers or no triggers. The one sober living situation that I knew of, that I don't believe exists any more, was pretty much the same as Nancy said. The residents are required to attend a 12 step meeting daily. There were house rules and rules regarding hours and employment. It is, essentially, a more structured home in the community that helps newly recovering addicts become a part of general society while maintaining their sobriety. A thought. Is there a chance that your son could find a sober living arrangement for those 2 days prior entering rehab? Those 2 days could be a huge downfall. [/QUOTE]
