My daughter spent 3 months in a halfway house after a 28 day in paitent stay. It was very good for her. But as unsure of said, she was ready. She had 6 1/2 months clean after that. She recently relapsed for 2 weeks. She learned what she needs to do to be clean. She learned the tools. But it is up to her to use them. IMHO I think the more sober/clean time a person gets, the more they learn they can do it. Life can be good. She was also lucky, she had a pretty good group of people in at the time she was there. the halfway house staff had just "cleaned house" & gotton some of the trouble makers out. Even if there were some not so fine people there, your daughter might befriend someone that is awesome. You never know, but for my daughter, it helped her imensly. look into some things, check them out, & follow your gut. But heads up, there can be a waiting list to get in. (((Hugs)))
