Can a Person Who Was a Cocaine Addict Drink Alcohol Occasionally After 6 Months of Rehab?

Question by kat: Can a person who was a cocaine addict drink alcohol occasionally after 6 months of rehab?
My husband is getting out of a 6 month drug rehab program on Friday. I want to know if it is ok to allow him to drink alcohol or not. Alcohol was never a problem for him, cocaine was his only addiction. I do not drink very often. I will maybe have 1 or 2 drinks every couple of months. I just wanted to know if I should ban all alcohol from our home? I just need some guidance on this one. Serious, helpful answers please.

What Are Some Unique Therapy Groups for Adults?

Question by Vice: What are some unique therapy groups for adults?
I work in an adult residential drug rehab facility for women as a mental health counselor. What are some unique or creative ideas for groups I can hold for the residents? There are already groups for DBT, seeking safety, coping w/triggers anger management, body image, yoga, and domestic violence. I am having difficulty thinking of helpful and creative issues for which to start up a group.

Any suggestions? If so, what type of activities would it involve?

Thanks!

Why Is It That There Are People Who Undergo Drug Rehabilitation Who Still Go Back to Taking Drugs Afterward?

Question by CARRIE S: Why is it that there are people who undergo drug rehabilitation who still go back to taking drugs afterward?
Does this mean that the drug rehab program that they were made to undergo just wasn’t effective enough? Or is it more of the fault of the individual?
