Personally, I can't even imagine it working for anyone, but I think she's interested in it because:
1. It's only 10 days, so not so much time off work.
2. It's not AA
It's a fine line to realize how much to talk about treatment options with the A in your life. If she brings it up, is it okay to discuss it?
My nature is to thoroughly research everything that interests me. If I see a pretty butterfly, I'll go online and look it up. If I overhear a conversation on the bus about an author, I'll go to the bookstore and find something by that author to see if I'm intrigued. So, of course, the first thing I did when she mentioned Shick-Shadel was to go online and read every word on their site, searched old threads on SR, etc.
So, of course, I now know more about Shick-Shadel than she does, but since it's been about two weeks since she mentioned it, I haven't brought it up again. I get the feeling that when summer is over and it's time for her to do something about getting sober, she's going to declare that she wants to go to Shick-Shadel. I don't have any faith in their program, but I guess I'm stuck with sticking out the attempt since I told her "I'll support you in your recovery effort." I don't want to dictate how she recovers. So, I think I've kind of trapped myself to allow her at least this one effort.
Sorry for the rant, but it's on my mind this morning and just wanted to get as much feedback as I could.
