[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the sister's insurance situation?

Almost every insurance plan has some kind of substance abuse plan. Even Medicaid. It might be a little gritty. And it's quite common for insurance companies to kick people out of rehab after two weeks if they deem them detoxed and cured.

But what you want is detox and a stable environment for a few weeks as their brains and bodies readjust from addiction.

Check the insurance. The most important thing though is a willingness by the sister to be done with it and be committed to getting through those early weeks, which suck. The brain is not your friend at this time.

But I would not spend a nickel on someone who doesn't want to change. For a lot of people that got sucked into addiction, rehab is such a relief. Safe detox. A community of people dealing with the same thing. And they move on with their lives.

Some don't want the help though. And will relapse the moment they get out.

Does the sister feel like she's done with this road? If yes, there are options. If no, waste of money. [/quote]

No.  SIL does not have interest in getting off the meds.  [/quote]
