Just wondering what type of treatment my a brother (charged with assault & battery) may be going through. Daily/hourly(?) AAmeetings? would there be anger management classes? What do they do with ppl in rehab? When do these ppl finally get through the anger and decide to listen?
Sorry, I don't know. I am in UK - different here, anyway, not my experience, mine was committing someone to psych ward, 28 day order, I had no control. They assessed, truth is, only thing on offer was meds, thankfully, my son finally accepted. The meds have worked - up till now -hopefully, will continue to do so. they have helped my son, enormously, so would counselling, not on offer, so would support - apparently, in place, but, in reality, the "supporters" know very little.
We are not perfect, nor, in my opinion, is the system, either here or elsewhere - we just have to trust, take it a day at a time, whatever happens, better than what has gone before.
Dear Barbara, it is out of your hands, you know, you will be there for him. For now, let it go, as much as you can, keep coming here.... we are all wishing the best outcome for you. Take care of you,
