Hi Karen, I keep my eyes open for new people and when I saw yours, sayiing you rehab and send people home. I am wondering how and what you do to make them able? Please tell me the treatment in detail, maybe there is something were missing in the USA, Im open to any ideas and new ways, technology changes so often , it wont hurt to try something new for the hopes ofour loved ones who are suffereing and the sad ones we've already lost. I remeber when my grandmother suffered from cancer, and now they have ways to try and beat it. Just like back in the day there were what they called " blue babies" born with heart abnormalities, now it can be changed. I am not so sure how there is really hope for alcoholics, neuropathy, and korsakoff? Rehab and sending home is great, do you mean they go back to
complete normal lives? Drive, care for self, and other major important life situations? I would like to learn more from you, please email me sunniibunnii71@... ( My father is the retired fireman, ems, dispatcher, with alcoholic neuropathy and Wks, ) I can share more later..Thanks and blessings Sunni

Hi Karen,
Welcome to the group... I have never heard of a place such as yours. No one has spoken of such a place in this group. I apologize for not responding sooner....I have been out of town since Wednesday evening, so I just now received your email.
Please be patient, some of our members do not often check their email, or read the messages on the group website only so they'll respond sooner or later.
As for my story, you can read my previous messages at the website. They tell the journey I have had with this disease.
Ask any questions you would like, we will answer them to the best of our abilities.
Nora

Hello everyone,
I have just found your group so I thought I would join and introduce
myself. I live in the UK and I operate a few facilities for people with
Korsakoffs, or as we call it, Alcohol Related Brain Injury (ARBI).
We rehab. people and send them home, which is pretty unheard of here.
We have really great sucesses with our clients, most of whom can return
home with no problem at all.
Do you have facilities like this in the USA? I know our sister company
took a man from Arizona a while ago and he is doing fine, but he
obviously had to travel to the UK for the right treatment.
Karen
