My sister is getting out of rehab on Wednesday this week for maybe (I'm guessing) the 15th time. She has lost everything at this point and before she went into to rehab was sleeping at a storage facility. Our family went to probate court to have her committed. The 28 days are up--she drinks anything-- hand sanitizer, mouth wash, vanilla extract--pretty much anything with alcohol in it so I have little hope that this 28 days will be any different than the last ones. Here goes: My family in the past has reached out to her and assited/funded places for her to live, given her money, given her jobs, and basically anything just to help her recovery. Nothing we have done has worked. She is being released this week and has called to notify us she is being released. How should we approcah her?

Hi
What do you want approaching her to accomplish?

Don't. As I have learned from alanon, just get out of the way. She needs to ask the Rehab where she can go since her family can't have her there anymore.
