Goodness, that's just so terribly wrong. Not just expectation-wise, but MEDICALLY and morally wrong. She needs not to "prove" ANYTHING to ANYONE, she needs a HOSPITAL BED. Alcoholism, especially at this level at her age and older, can be fatal. You can become so sick from withdrawals that A WHOLE LOT can go desperately wrong. It could cause seizures, even death. It's FAR more dangerous to immidiatly (without professional, tailored medical help at a hospital) stop drinking alcohol than it is to quit heroin cold turkey. That says something. Heroin isn't exactly a wonder drug, simply put, so it truly says something.
It would be SO MUCH BETTER and HELLA SAFER for her to instead either immidiatly get sent to a hospital for detox, then a long term treatment facility, or to continue drinking, but (preferrably) with support around her from someone experienced (not family) with alcoholism, hopefully being able to slowly wean down before long term treatment. Not to "be completely on your own with no new tools or coping mechanisms", with the added stress and pressure of having to prove that she "really wants the help", gosh.
This is entirely reckless and DANGEROUS from even a life/death perspective. NO ACTUAL PERSON WITH A VALID "DR." IN FRONT OF THEIR NAME WOULD DO THIS. NO ONE. ZERO, ZILCH. It's faaaar to reckless. Smfh.
