[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's in AA and has a therapist and psychiatrist?

I suggest AlAnon for the rest of the family.  He's got to do it on his own and you need to accept that fact.[/quote]

If he is staying clean (more or less), rehab is going to do anything for him.

He has a psychiatrist, so I don't think in-patient treatment will offer him much either.

OP needs some Al-Anon in a big way.[/quote]

Let me try that again (with proof-reading):

PP who originally suggested Al-Anon.  I worked at a residential treatment facility for 5 years.  If the family can afford the price tag, its an option, if he wants to go.  But no way the family should take on a financial burden they can't handle to send him there, especially if he isn't 100% committed to his recovery.  Even after mutliple stints at rehab, he will likely relapse.

Seriously, OP- get to Al-Anon.  It sounds to me that he already has plenty of resources and he needs to work the steps himself.  [/quote]
