There are many people who are "forced" into treatment and don't really want to be there. A big part of the treatment process is to work through that and help them to get honest with themselves and everyone around them. After they get honest, they realize they really do need to be there and then begin to work the program. Some people "get it" within a week-10 days. Some it takes a month....or longer. That's why the length of treatment varies from patient to patient. The specialists say ideally it should be at least 90 days! I wish everyone could stay in treatment for 6 months.
I know you don't 'want him gone that long'....but the alternatives are much worse.
Please keep coming back ... SR is a wonderful place to work thru all this stuff you are going thru.
