[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 739504, member: 22817"] I don't want to know what he says in his therapy sessions. All I would like to know is does the psychiatrist on staff work on diagnosing him if he has a co-occurring illness and if so what do they do to help with that and the addiction. I have heard from someone on another site that my son sounds like he has more going on than just an alcohol addiction and that he needs a psychiatrist to diagnosis him. This place is a dual diagnosis facility but since I am not able to speak to anyone I really don't know how or what they do. I read over the paperwork and it says someone will contact me within the first 7 days provided the release is signed. That way we can write our "cost" letters, etc. Not sure what happens is it isn't signed. If anyone has suggestions on the boundaries my husband and I should put in place, please message me. Keeping positive thoughts that he completes the program of 31 days AND agrees to go to a sober living. It will not be good for him to go back to his new apartment above the bar all alone without any support system. Seems like it would be destined for relapse. I thought of bribing him and taking a hit on the lease so he does go somewhere that he can have support around him for a few months. Without support around him especially on the weekends, I fear he will just relapse. The holidays are coming up and being all alone will not be good either. [/QUOTE]
