For a couple of years. As the charge nurse, I did a little of almost everything, inquiry calls, admissions, detox protocol, meds, individual counciling.

The basis was still AA. The facility took the inpatient clients through the first 4 steps, during the 30 day stay.

If a person can get through detox, find a sponsor, work the first four steps, they could save about 30 thousand dollars, on the way to being sober.

I try and look at my Al Anon, one day at a time, book, everyday. Man, its hard to just share the faith and hope, and not fall into giving advice.
