I suspect this thread touches many lives here. My brother is currently in detox/treatment for alcohol and xanax. I thought I was going to lose him for sure, just like we lost my dad to alcohol and suicide. He hit rock bottom three weeks ago, waking up in a hospital in restraints, not remembering anything how he got there. The police report said he was found wandering outside wearing nothing but a t-shirt. I just got off the phone with him, three weeks into treatment and he sounds great. His blood pressure is back under control. He mentioned that most of the other patients there are fighting narcotic and benzo addictions.
