difficult child went to aftercare today and confessed her relapse. The counselor called tonight to tell her that she either has to go back to intensive outpatient or enter a sober house that lasts anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. She would have to quit her job and cannot have a job or any outside contact for the first three months. After that she is required to get a job and do volunteer work in the community and attend an AA meeting every day.
We can't afford either option at this point so I'm not sure what she is going to do. I think the sober house is her best chance but I don't think she will stay, I think she will leave. They said we didn;t have to pay the outpatient up front if that would help. We haven't even finished paying for her two months inpatient let alone her first outpatient stay.
I'm torn and not sure what to do.
