When a client first comes to an alcohol and drug rehab center there are high expectations from everyone.  The client is hopeful that this is the way out of the addictive maze they have been stuck in.  The family and friends are hopeful and excited that there loved one may finally get back on track.  The rehab center is excited and hopeful at the chance to work with another person and assist them in the change in lifestyle they want.

Thankfully for the most part for most of the times the result is positive.  This is what everyone hoped for and desired.  However when there isn't sucess often the blame game results.  Everyone starts pointing the finger at eachother and saying the other person dropped the ball.  This truly is a waste of time.  Even when things don't work there is a possibility that seldom gets discussed….that nobody dropped the ball.  The client could have given everything they had.  The rehab center could have tried very hard and had a good program.  The friends and parent did the right things and helped choose a great center. 

If this is possible, the only valid question is what can be done next?  From what happened in the last experience, what might be done differently next time?  When you have the answers to those questions, you move forward and try again.
