Residential programs for relapse

I am looking for advice and recommendations:

About 4 years ago I was a fifth a day vodka, plus whatever drinker. I found AA and with the addition of an outpatient program, substantially recovered. However my history has been to go out and start drinking again every three to four months - never to the same extent, but enough to cause problems at home with my wife. I am deeply appreciative of the help I have found in AA, but I still can't seem to stay convinced that I should not drink.

My wife, perhaps via Al-Anon, is convinced that a residential 28 day program is what I need. I would be willing to do that if I really though it would help - so what do YOU think ? How would it work at a rehab if I was already 90 days sober and attending AA every other day ? What would a rehab add ?

Thanks for any input
