This would be a good question for your next appt.
I don't know enough and can only think of people and situations that I've personally known, not the medical ins and outs. For some people I've known, it was court-ordered detox, and there was no two ways about it (and TG not lonewolf DIY as it got pretty ugly mentally and physically.) Others self-admitted, but only after losing everything. Others have self-admitted before it got to that. Others have gone the DIY route. There are obviously be some variables to consider for what would be appropriate to a given situation. See what they say. It would be good to understand their reasoning.
(You would not believe how long I spent writing this, thinking, re-writing and debating what constitutes TMI, especially in consideration of how the people I know would feel about it. Ultimately, I opted to spare you the novel version.
Lol. No ****, I've been at it all night(!) At least it's (very!) concise now...
