My understanding from a friend who's been in recovery a long time is ultimately many alchoholics lives end from malnutrition. It's empty calories after all and the addict drinks, feels full, doesn't eat. On the street some die of starvation though to look at them that is not the case but internally, starving.
Silvers, I'm sorry this is happening, I know others here have said this more articulately than me: Alanon is an amazing fellowship of friends and family. Sometimes that's all you can do, change yourself and maybe the addict will follow.
Meanwhile I'd find the source at the facility. I'd hate to be him or her when you do.
