Question Mother going into treatment facility - need advice

Hi everyone,

1st post here on SR, so please bear with me if I posted this in the wrong forum (wasn't sure which was most appropriate).

On Friday my mother will be going into an month long inpatient program for alcoholism. She's been an alcoholic for nearly 20 years, and has been in treatment once before (Nov. '08) but relapsed after 2 weeks.

My questions for you are: what can I do leading up to treatment to help her? What can I do during treatment? And what should I do to prepare for her return?

Essentially, what could your immediate family do for you that would aid you in your recovery?

Thanks in advance!
