Has anyone had experience with inpatient rehabilitation for a family member?

[kdsfoundation]

A close relative of mine has recently been advised to consider inpatient rehabilitation, and I'm trying to understand what the experience is really like for both the person receiving care and their family.

If you've had direct or indirect experience with inpatient rehabilitation, what aspects did you find most helpful? Was there anything you wish you'd known beforehand? I'm particularly interested in how families stayed involved during the process and what support was available after discharge.

I'd appreciate hearing about different experiences and perspectives.

It slightly depends where they would go to do rehab. Some have excellent family programmes and support, others less so.

Some rehabilitation programmes expect the addict to attend 90 12 step meetings in 90 days, to demonstrate their commitment to recovery.
There are 12 step meetings for families, you can get further info from families anonymous.org.uk
