The only problem with mandatory rehab is it very seldom works. They have to want to stop. They know what to do and say to get through rehab and then immediately go out and start again because they never intended to stop, just did what was needed to get out of trouble.
UHC in Clarksburg donated the old hospital to Highland out of Charleston for a behavioral health hospital. Not only would it provide needed services, but jobs for the area. Fairmont Hospital has been blocking them because they think it will take some of their patients. They have now cut back from 225 beds to 150 and 334 staff to 282 in their proposal to try to get it passed. In fact, they were to have a hearing yesterday about it. http://www.cpubco.com/articles/2011/10/20/news/03.txt
My dad's father was an alcoholic. My dad did not want to put his family through the same things he and his siblings and my grandmother went through, so he stopped drinking and never touched it again. Yes, the system failed LL, but ultimately it was her decision to continue the cycle. People should use their past to learn from and try to improve their circumstances, not as an excuse for bad behavior.
