I am wondering though what kind of treatment she could be receiving for a week. Is it just detox? Recovery takes a lot longer than a week. I wish all of you the best of luck, but I do wonder whether she will have acquired the necessary tools to battle her addiction within a week. If nothing else, she will need a LOT of support from you and others who have gone through the same thing. Best of luck!

Thanks..Oh I am strong lol I have at least one breakdown a day lol i gotta let it out or else I get angry at people and thats not good.
I think its a detox place. The minimum you can stay is a week. Then I think they assess the person and see if they need to stay longer. Plus i think it depends on how severe the person's addiction is. I saw people who were way worse than my mom. They go to meetings everyday and group sessions and its a nice place.
Oh I know recovery takes more than a week. My moms been trying to quit drinking for YEARS on her own. I know she wants to do it on her own but she cant...she always falls back. Plus her now ex-bf moved out because my mom kicked him out since he drinks a million times more than she does lol
When my moms comes back shes gonna be going to AA meetings on a regular basis and make some new friends who dont drink
