[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 738679, member: 21066"] If he's detoxing from alcohol he might have to be hospitalized. Depending on what substances he is using and how long he has taken them, going to a detox facility where there are medical professionals might be best. You may not be able to handle him. There is a good chance he might go running out of the hotel craving that substance. Some people have to be weaned. You don't know how severe the withdrawal could get. I'm guessing he wants to stay with you in the hotel because he is afraid. He probably gets nervous thinking about being in a facility with people he doesn't know. He sounds clingy and needy, which I think will improve once he has been sober for a couple of years. Withdrawal is a scary experience, and sime people have to have their hands held. I hope he's truly ready and has his mind made up. That could change once the withdrawal symptoms kick in. The window of opportunity (when a person thinks he or she is ready to quit) can be fleeting. That is why they say it's best to get the person into detox within the next hour, if you can find a facility that can take him that quickly. If he's going to spend the night preparing himself and meditating to get himself emotionally and mentally ready for this, and is very determined that tomorrow morning is going to be the first day of his new life without drugs, maybe tomorrow really will be a new day. I'm thinking by Sunday, he may consider giving up. I would be cautious of getting your hopes up. [/QUOTE]
