Rehab is truly a gift. I had a friend who desperately wanted/ needed to go and I did everything to help get her in. Unfortunately she did not have insurance, and the facility in town wanted $18,000 up front. She had burned out her family and they were unwilling to pay for it. There was another inpatient free facility, but with a waiting list of months. I did what I could, bringing her juice and fresh fruits, but it was difficult being 4 blocks from a liquor store, her friends calling to go out. She was having DT's but wanted to do cold turkey while her motivation was high. I wish more than anything we could have gotten her in as she relapsed soon after. I think getting away, breaking away for awhile in an atmosphere of medical and emotional support would have been priceless. If people at work ask you about it, I wouldn't assume they are being nosy, I would bet cash money either they or a family member is secretly struggling and they want to know what to expect and if it helped. If anything you might be a role model for others, and if nothing else, please remember that some would have loved the opportunity who couldn't afford it.
