This thread was certainly an eye-awakener for me. I would never have guessed there would be that much red tape in getting into rehab for help. However, I do believe you can exhale again. You wrote "They are keeping him there until Monday b/c they do feel that he needs Detox. They are also trying to find a place for him to go come Monday b/c they do know that he needs to go directly to another treatment center." In other words, that hospital has taken on the responsibility for your AH's health condition.
A lot of people are under the wrong impression that you, as the spouse in lieu of the patient himself, can not talk to the medical staff and express your concerns. You certainly are entitled to that right. The only thing that is not allowed is for the medical staff to talk to you about your AH's condition, without his consent. I would recommend for you to call the medical staff and medical director directly to discuss all your concerns.
However, once your mind is set at ease, it's time for you to take some time off and breath some fresh air. Then start working on your own recovery program.
