The option he is looking into the most is out patient however he would be there from 8- 4:30 everyday. Basically comes home at night and would do the same things as in patient while there. The other times he has quit drinking he never seemed to have withdrawals, and has gone as long as 6 months. He is still high functioning and has never had any major health issues due to drinking. When I read up on in vs. out it seems that out maybe an okay option, but really only he knows how much he drinks and how much it is interfering with his life. If he sticks with an in network facility I don't think the financial cost would be much different for us for either. The quality of these places is a whole different story and trying to find something that is good could be difficult. I say that because the places I know are good, like the Betty Ford Center, are not on this list. I looked up the cost for Betty Ford and it is almost $30k.... WOW!
Thanks for the help you guys are giving me.
