how do you know if they left inpatient treatment??
need to ask a question when a person is in inpatient treatment there is no way to contact them? when i put my wife in the woman told me that if i called they wouldn't acknowledge that she was there i had to wait for her to call...she didn't call that day (Tuesday) she called..weds and thursday..15min and 5min calls...today no call...the thing is these calls are the only thing letting me know she is still there and didn't walk out...(she walk out of a inpatient treatment before) i had just brought her a new phone /w new number (destroyed old phone with drug contacts and cut the line off) ...i call the phone every few hours cause i know they take it from her and she would only have it if she left..i figure she leaves first thing she gonna do is turn the phone on to call someone...so by it going to answering machine i know its turned off and I figure she is still there (yes i know thats pitiful but thats my life) so is there anyway besides this to know she is still there if she doesn't call???

There really is no way to know if the facility said they won't tell you anything. The way it works here is, the patient signs a waiver to allow certain person to receive information. If she didn't sign that waiver allowing you to get info, then, they won't tell you anything.
I'm sorry you are dealing with this, but why not take this time to work on yourself and your own issues. Everyone who lives with an addict has issues because addiction is a family disease.
