[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 454534"] Thanks everyone for your replies. We went to the hospital today, had family meeting with social worker. Plan is to go to inpatient rehab; social worker is working on this. difficult child says he is willing to go to rehab but is not willing to swear off alcohol for the rest of his life. We feel he needs the intensive therapy not only for the alcohol abuse but to work on his psychological issues, to get his depression and anxiety under control. The continual arguments between him and his dad are very draining. Social worker recommended therapy for both of them so that they can work out their issues. It's just so frustrating because he says he will resume drinking when the 28 or so days are up. He says he plans to be a controlled social drinker and will stop the drinking alone in his room. We're very sceptical. He was offered a medication to reduce the craving for alcohol but refused it stating he has no cravings. I just hope he can get into the inpatient rehab not only for the above reasons but I think he needs to get out of the home environment. [/QUOTE]
