If she wants to get sober, and needs to detox she can call 911. She can call the Salvation Army, it's free.. it's rehab. She can call AA. As long as she doesn't have consequences for what she's doing, she has absolutely no reason to change. Allow her the dignity to suffer the real consequences of what she is doing to her self, and to pursue a better life, and recovery on her own, if she ever wants it. If she is in need of emergent medical or mental health care, call 911.
The way she got hospitalized in the first place, we went to visit her at her house, she was sitting in her chair watching TV with a 7 inch gash in her shin, a large pool of blood at her feet, she didn't even realize she was bleeding, she wasn't drunk at the time, she can't go to rehab because of her state of health, she is not able to take care of herself, that's why we're moving her in with us, not an attempt to save her from alcoholism, but to assist her with her medical needs, and to prevent her from harming herself. There's more going on here than just the addiction, she has lost the ability to comprehend fully.
