Value Of Recovery Programs & Recommendations?

I would love some feedback on the value of in-patient recovery programs & transitional living homes. Any recommendations as well. Through reading the forums, I have begun to feel stronger about my father's decision to ask my addicted sister (27) to leave the home. A selfless man by nature, this must be very hard for him. While this seems like the best way to help her, I worry, that the worst will happen if and when she goes. Her binge drinking is reckless and often near lethal. I am wondering if upon leaving the house, it would be better for her to enter a recovery program or a sober house. She barely works, so it is hard to picture her taking up the challenge of working full time and renting an apartment. Would this struggle just happen anyway after rehab? So many of these places are so expensive; it is not something to blink about. The small one where she went didn't impress me or her. It is hard to assess the places from the internet. I feel it would be worth scraping together the costs, even if there was only a fraction of chance of success. To protect not just her life, but others if she ever gets a car. Do we just wait to see if she asks? Does she have to really want to go?

if so, take a look at several of the treads on the Families/Partners of Addicts boards of this website. Once i hear from you that you are still with us, I'll post a reply. I have some observations as one whose son has been in an inpatient rehab and is now in a halfway house/sober house, and as one whose 24 year old son was living here with me, but is now no longer allowed to live here.

best regards

Still here. Will be off soon, but I will check back in when I can. Reading the posts has been very helpful, if a little tearful. Just forwarded some text from the family section to my father. --liz
