[quote=Anonymous]As the PP said, unless she wants it, it is a waste, we learned that lesson with one of our kids.  We told them they had two choices, go to an inpatient facility and they determine your course of recovery and you stay clean or you are no long part of our frailly.  The decision had to be made right then.

Fortunately they made the right choice and are approaching a milestone in their recovery.  It doesn't end once they leave the inpatient treatment, sober living and PHP, IOP are the next steps and after IOP OP for as long as thy can and lots of meetings. and continue in sober living.

Basically, your family  was enabling her.  They need to end that immediately, you need to talk openly about it so when she turns to others they won't take her in.

The mental illness component is a big factor here and unless they are taking their meds and going to therapy, again, they are not part of the family.

It's the hardest best thing you and your family can do.

Recovery works, if you work on your recovery.  [/quote]
