My Brother needed detox and treatment for alchoholism. He was refusing local treatment so after consulting a rehab referral service, our family placed our hopes in A Forever Recovery. He was miserable there but we were told that people going thru detox and rehab are miserable. The true horror was when we learned 2 days beforehand, because we called them, that he was "graduating as an honor student ". This was 40 days into what was supposed to be a 3 to 6 month program. The price is the same regardless of how long the stay and I was told that they were out of beds and had a waiting list. His "graduation" would no doubt increase thier revenues. Most dangerous was the aftercare plan that involved him returning to live at the place where he did all of his drinking. I protested this plan and was told that it was up to my brother to find his own sober living arrangement , you know , after he spent a few weeks living where he did most of his drinking. When I spoke to my "honors graduate" brother he was full of anger and blame. He was sober but not recovered in any way. It has been 36 hours since his release from A Forever Recovery and my brother is currently hospitalized and being detoxed at our local VA hospital. He was found passed out, drunk.
