I want to give an update. AW went thru the program and is diligently taking part in the after care program they offer. While in the program they adjusted her bipolar meds and she is doing great. What has impressed me about the program is the after care they offer. The previous programs sent you on your way with no follow up support. The "Shick Survivors" is also a very supportive group. At the moment it's working and all is well. Just hope it continues.
I didn't think much of the aversion therapy idea when she went but for her it seems to be working. She went to the circus last week with her mother and had someone sit down beside her that had been drinking. The aversion was so strong that she had to change seats.
