[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 370562, member: 59"] Thank you for all your supoort. I felt it today. I went from the depths of despair to action to find help. She slept til 1:30. When she woke up we told her that we asked how she felt and if she remembered what she did last night. When we told her about urinating on the carpet she said she thought she dreamed that. We told her we loved her but that she had a problem and needed help and we made an appointment for 3 pm and we would be leaving in 30 minutes so she should get cleaned up. Thankfully she didn't argue much. Although she thought it was a therapy appointment she soon found out it was an assessment. The goal was to determine if she needed inpatient detox or outpatient. It was decided she did not need detox so they put her in the outpatient rehab starting Monday. Five days a week 10-3. She will be evaluated and be seen by a psychiatrist by the second day. The length of time depends on insurance coverage. Isn't that a shame. I'm afraid when they call our insurance nothing will be covered but we will pay out of pocket. When we left we asked her if she was willing to work the program and she said yes. She seemed relieved that it was finally out in the open. She asked if we could go eat somewhere and we actually had a decent time. She said she wants to clean up and move on with her life. I am trying not to be too optimistic but at least she is going. I am angry with husband. I was on the computer at 6am trying to find a treatment center and on the phone by 8am. He was still in bed thinking about it I guess. I am convinced if I hadn't done this she would be going out drinking again tonight and no progress would have been made. I feel like he just doesn't know what to do to help and I can't stand to do nothing. Nancy [/QUOTE]
