[QUOTE="DDD, post: 370509, member: 35"] I am sending my supportive thoughts and full understanding of the alcohol issue. Sometimes a stay in rehab can allow a separation from peers and time to actually do some soul searching. As you may recall we have used three rehab centers with easy child/difficult child and learned (sadly) about the process. There is a big difference in the methods and rules used by various centers. My one suggestion is choose wisely but don't expect them "to cure her". She has to put some effort into the process in order to benefit. Our easy child/difficult child did learn to avoid heavy drugs but after ten years is still a diagnosed alcoholic. He knows what he has to do to choose the recovery path but he is not willing to take the steps. One more thing to be aware of is that some major insurance companies will cut off funding once your child is sober. Yeppers....if the staff report says they are no longer drinking sometimes that means discharge. It is a precariuous road. Had we been able to afford it we would have opted for a direct move to a stepdown program with no visit home in between programs. Six weeks is not enough. I'm praying for you today and hoping that all goes well. When you are on the same page with your husband it is a whole lot easier. Fingers crossed. DDD [/QUOTE]
