Yes, my AH did the same thing the first time he went. He has been a total of 4 times (I think..I may have lost count..haha) and he was quite disappointed to say the least. That's when I learned that he couldn't stay if he had the benzo's in his system, so we had to go home and wait it out for a couple of days. I don't understand why they will not allow anyone who has them in their system to stay? Makes no sense to me. It is a social detox so maybe that's why. Of course hubby would prefer a medical detox, but the closest one is in Greenville and costs 3 thousand just for the detox. He has had his whiskey today...chose that over cigs of course, so now we don't have any cigs and he's worrying about what he's going to do. Not a thing I can do about it..and that's what I keep telling him. It'll be a good time for us to quit is all I can say..lol
