Question by CAITLYNN C: How can alcohol rehab help my brother?
It just seems like a way of extorting money from us. Can’t he get well all on his own?

Best answer:

Answer by anya w
Alcohol rehab is not a way of extorting money from people like you. They ask for fees simply because money is needed to make the program effective. Where else would they get the funds to better their facilities? How else are they going to pay for the medicines?

The fact that your brother is still an alcoholic right now means that he can’t do it on his own. He needs help, and that’s what he’s going to get inside an alcohol rehab. Being there would mean that he would have no supply of alcohol, and less temptation. Therapists, doctors, and healthcare providers would be taking care of him. These are the people who are very adept at handling cases like your brother’s. No doubt that they know what to do and how to deal with him. He needs attention, counseling, therapy and medication, four things that he can get inside an alcohol rehab.

I’m sure your brother will be ok. He needs your support when he goes out of rehab. You have to help him so that he won’t turn to alcohol again. Good luck and I hope he gets well soon enough.

Question by chelsea: Does anybody know where I can find an alcohol rehab in New York?
I want to turn my father in. His drinking habits are really affecting the family. He’s become temperamental and violent that he gets upset about the tiniest things. Like, just the other night, he punched my brother just because he asked for money to spend for his science project. My mom died a few years ago and I don’t know what else to do. I’m really worried about the future of our family.

This is an opportunity that many people are so thankful they went through. Keep an open mind. You will start to get to know yourself through discussions and education. You will become close to the other people there. You might want to keep a journal so that you can look back at it in the future. I know that being scared of something that you are not too familiar with is normal. They won’t make you do anything that you are not comfortable with other than sharing feelings. The more honest you are, the more you will get out of the therapy.
This will be a great, positive turning point for you. Good luck.

Question by : Will medicaid pay for alcohol rehab in Utah?
If you had a brother, sister, son, or daughter that needs help. Would you do anything you could to help them? This is a disease!

Answer by raysny
No. Although alcoholism is considered a disease by some, it is treated as a behavior by the government.

http://askjan.org/media/alcohol.html#ADA

Most rehabs are 12step-based, based on AA. Rehabs have a slightly better success rate than Alcoholics Anonymous which is estimated to be about 5%, the same as no treatment at all. People who fail in AA and 12step facilitation tend to fall harder than those who were not exposed to 12step treatment, which teaches people they are powerless to do anything about their addiction, that even God cannot cure alcoholism, only grant a daily reprieve from the desire to drink.

Dr. Brandsma found that A.A. increased the rate of binge drinking, and
Dr. Ditman found that A.A. increased the rate of rearrests for public drunkenness, and
Dr. Walsh found that “free A.A.” made later hospitalization more expensive, and
Doctors Orford and Edwards found that having a doctor talk to the patient for just one hour was just as effective as a whole year of A.A.-based treatment.
Dr. George E. Vaillant, the A.A. Trustee, found that A.A. treatment was completely ineffective, and raised the death rate in alcoholics. No other way of treating alcoholics produced such a high death rate as did Alcoholics Anonymous.

What works? A summary of alcohol treatment research:

http://www.behaviortherapy.com/whatworks.htm

“About 75 percent of persons who recover from alcohol dependence do so without seeking any kind of help, including specialty alcohol (rehab) programs and AA. Only 13 percent of people with alcohol dependence ever receive specialty alcohol treatment.”

Question by koley: Do I have a right to a leave of absence from work for alcohol rehab?
In spite of a recent loss of control with my drinking, I have been doing very well at my new job. It has been recommended that I complete a 28-day in-patient rehabilitation program, and I am trying to decide what to do about my job. I’m not expecting a paid leave; just that my job still be available when I return.

What HIPAA rights might I have? Should I be honest with HR about why I’m leaving?

Answer by Meritaten
If you have a health issue of any kind that makes you unable to work temporarily you should be able to be signed off with a doctors note. Though employers vary- some are happy to wait whie others cannot hold on, but when it comes to health- health comes first, so get advice from your doctor and they’ll advise you on the way to do it. Good luck!
