K, I'm sorry I forget how old your AD is, but if she is old enough, I highly recommend the Oxford House groups. 28 days is nowhere near enough time!
I often wonder if AS had gone right into the Oxford House after his last rehab, instead of coming home and doing "outpatient" treatment, if he wouldn't have relapsed. He was sneaking it at home before rehab, so natch sneaked it again AFTER rehab. I think they need an entirely diff environment from where they were using in the past.
He's promised to stay "at least" a full year in his Oxford House, longer, if he needs it. And it seems that's where you will find the long time recovering addicts. Most of the guys in house have many years under their belts and cannot be "quacked at" like a parent can be. They have "heard it all" before!
Hope this is a viable option for your daughter.
Hugs, Barb
OH YEA, watch out for Ann's bunny slippers! They might be cute, but they are steel-toed! hehe!
