Hello ??
A friend has recently come out of a mental health facility after being diagnosed with Korsakoff , they were there for 15 weeks and detoxed from alcohol and eventually after the 1st 5 weeks they eventually responded to treatment ( we were told they would never be returning and would need assisted living as they didn’t respond for so long) . We were all thrilled that they returned home this week deemed fit to live alone with no care plan just 1 injection of thiamine fortnightly . Obviously I and other friends and family want to do what is best for them and that is why I am looking for advice, while my friend is home and no longer drinking and seems determined never to again some of the behaviour exhibited is eerily similar to how they were like when they 1st went to hospital and I am worried about the fact that my friend literally the min they got home rang someone and managed to acquire a bag of cannabis and is determined that the cannabis is something they will not be giving up, does anyone know if there is any danger for them continuing to smoke this , and any more advice or tips for aiding recovery for them ??
Thanks in advance
