[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 386222, member: 59"] I hope she goes too. She is going to resist very strongly because she is addicted and terrified. I believe our difficult child wouldn't have gone if she thought there was any other alternative. She told us yesterday that even after the first 30 days when she thought she would be coming home she was going to go right out and drink one more time and then quit, one last drunk. We knew she wasn't ready to come home at that point and told her if she insisted on leaving she had to go to a shelter. The rehab center would help her find someplace to live but it couldn't be with us. Fortunately she decided to stay and it was in the next 30 days that she finally understood she was an addict and began working the program seriously. I hope your friend can hlep you put together an intervention. We thought our life was over and that there was no help for difficult child or our family. Rehab was the only alternative. I had decided I was not going to take no for an answer, I would do whatever I had to to get her in treatment. I was prepared to call the police and have her arrested to hopefully get the court to order treatment. Let us know what happens. I pray she does not get any of her drug friends to pick her up. She needs to get away from those people. She can't stop on her own. I would definitely check into the website toughlovin gave you. We were lucky in that we have an excellent facility about 90 minutes from us, there are many that are not equipped to handle our difficult child's. Nancy [/QUOTE]
