Question by Chad C: How would a woman respond to a man in a drug and alcohol rehab, about a relationship?
Would his “problems” be unsettling or would a woman find his willingness and comitment a good thing?

Best answer:

Answer by ~Bow In My Presence~
It depends on the woman. Maybe if she was in one, as well. Or maybe if she was willing to date someone in hopes that they could change, there’s plenty of dumb women. I used to one of them. I think that yes, his willingness and commitment would be a good thing. Would I date him running the risk of him messing up MY life, never!

Question by MMMM B’eer Verchina Expert: If I went to work drunk would I get a couple months off to go to treatment?
Also can you drink while in treatment?

And no they can not fire you for coming to work drunk due to alcoholism being a disease they have to try to help you the first time.
As long as you ask for help they can not fire you the first time.

Trust me I know these things.

Question by daria c: How would I be able to find an outpatient addiction treatment program for my daughter?
My daughter doesn’t want to spend her time in rehab. I was wondering how I could find an outpatient treatment program for her. She’s an alcoholic, and she wants to get her life back and not be dependent upon alcohol.

Determine first if your daughter doesn’t need 24-hour supervision. Ask a healthcare provider or a doctor to assess her situation in order for you to know if an outpatient treatment program would be right for her. You can check the yellow pages to find contact information regarding these programs. Ask your doctor for help in choosing which kind of program would be right for yoru daughter. Then, have your daughter select a program that she feels comfortable with.A group of people that has the same background would be good for her as she won’t be feeling so alone.

Good luck! I hope she gets better soon.
