[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 396416, member: 59"] I think a year long program not too long at all. difficult child's program was 60-90 days inpatient and many of the residents are then referred to a sober house for up to two years. It really takes that long to make the kind of changes needed to live a sober life and give up the contacts and patterns left behind. My difficult child was inpatient for 60 days and intensive outpatient for another 45 days and she was out a week and relapsed. If we had been offered a year program we would have jumped at it, but we could not have afforded it financially. In my opinion intensive outpatient in lieu of inpatient is not very effective. Most of the people there have been court ordered and go through the motions just to get off probation or their license back. difficult child started out in an intensive outpatient program and it was a joke. They need to be completely immersed in the sober living environment and you can't do that M-F 8-5. I hope she considers this opportunity. Nancy [/QUOTE]
