My sister is an alcoholic but started drinking again (when, I don't know). She claims she's been "sober" 3 years but then decided she could moderate her drinking. Maybe she can... I don't know its not for me to say. She's had MANY DUI's, legal consequences, etc as a result of her drinking in the past, so if I were her I wouldn't want to play with fire. But I'm not her and its her life.
I do know that if my partner comes back from rehab and goes back at it, even in moderation, it will lead to bigger and worse things. I've seen that before. I also don't think a 2 week program is really long enough to learn any appreciable sobriety skills such as relapse prevention (assuming the A really wants to stop).
Just my 2 American cents
