[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 493905, member: 59"] Yes they work. Most people do not enter treatment willingly. Most addicts do not admit they have a problem when they enter treatment, they go kicking and screaming and are often doing it just to stay out of jail or not get kicked out of the house. Of course he is not going to go willingly, he will be away from all the things he wants most, alcohol, drugs, money. If you are seriously considering an intervention seek out professionals that can help you with that plan. You will need to have a facility ready to accept him because he goes right from the intervention. Most treatment centers can help you with the intervention. Our daughter went into treatment at our insistence but she went with the idea she would stay for 30 days and come back. She stayed 60 days and then went into intensive outpatient treatment for 5 weeks and from there she relapsed for several months and lived with drug friends until finally entering a sober house for 6 months. His whole life needs to change. I know it sounds overwhelming right now but take one step at a time. How is your insurance? Will they cover residential treatment? Start making some calls.
