[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 376707, member: 59"] Today was a good day...one day at a time! I love this facility Star. They were so on top of her Saturday when she tried to leave. The front desk saw her try to leave and asked if she had discharge papers and sent her back to the nurses office. In the meantime they got ahold of a counselor and they intercepted her in the parking lot and told her friends to leave or they would call the police. At the same time the nurse called to inform us that she was trying to leave and that she withdrew her consent to talk to us. She started running down the drive and walking on the main road but one of the male workers whose job it is to patrol the area ran after her and talked her back in. Together with the counselor they convinced her to call us because we were worried sick. They did everything right and gave us enough time to convince her to stay until we got there the next day. By Sunday she was calmer and agreeable to stay. This place is very serious about recovery, they don't fool around. She had to talk about everything in front of her group and ask them if she could stay. Her counselor said it was a good session and she got a lot of good feedback from the group. She is retruning the bracelts tomorrow and apologizing to everyone and she is on probation but they are letting er stay. As of now she will be there another 30 days. Star you are right, we did evrything we could and she is making these decisions. We all told her Sunday it's time she look inside herself now. She is sober but hasn't made the changes in her life she needs to. It's up to her now. But I will tell you I was panicked at the thought of her leaving with some crack addict and I had no way of contacting her. Nancy [/QUOTE]
