[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 700790, member: 1967"] A two week rehab is useless. Your daughter needs long term rehab followed by a sober living arrangement. Alcoholism/addiction is a progressive disease and it won't get better without treatment. At one of my daughter's rehabs they told us that without treatment, alcoholism/addiction ends in one of three ways: dead, institutionalized, or incarcerated. I am sorry if that is blunt but you are not helping your daughter if you take her in and enable her behaviors. I know that because I lived it and my enabling helped my daughter go to a very dangerous place. My husband and I went to therapy for the past two years and finally learned how to set and hold to boundaries and my daughter is now doing well. I really encourage you to go to a support group or therapy or a combination. Sister's Keepers is right that addiction is a family disease. Keep posting here, too. We have walked in your shoes and are here for advice and support. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
