I'm not sure if all PCP's would go to the length he did, but we had (still have) a long relationship and I had never given him a reason to not trust me when it came to detoxing at home. I successfully detoxed at home and went to outpatient treatment for several months, which included weekly one on one therapy sessions with a counselor and monthly meetings with a psychiatrist. I also went back to AA again (this wasn't my first rodeo). I celebrated 7 years sober a month ago.
