what kind of treatment worked for you??
My husband has been drinking for 27-28 years. Has been arrested 4 times, wrecked a few cars, lost jobs, broken a bone and has taken off many times on us for drinking binges all due to his drinking problem. He has been through the AA treatment 2 times (court ordered) and spent 24 hours in detox at a hospital. He is now ready for treatment. If he is not able to do it this time we are both sure that in a year he will be dead or in prison. He is the most wonderful person in the world, best husband and dad..
Here is the question: Treatment is so important what is the best hope for him? Is an out patient treatment or in patient treatment better?? We went to the VA hospital here and told them how bad the problem is and that we need help. After listening to us they said for him to come back once a week for 1 hour sections for 6 weeks. We are afraid that its not enough. Any advise?? We are both scared. Its so hard to know what to do.. HELP Mary
