According to me definitely admitting the patient to the rehabilitation center is essential in few cases. Otherwise opd base treatment can be taken. Definitely detoxification period is a difficult stage. Along with finding of co morbidity of psychiatric illness . In every stage psychotherapy sessions required ones the patient is stable. Because it is more of a mental illness then physical illness. According to stress, personality of the patient different type of psychotherapy sessions are required. Accordingly patients family counseling is also required for further improvement.

Any de-addiction rehabilitation program is successful on 3 points. First detoxification. 2ndly evaluation of underlying psychiatric co morbidity and lastly peer support to maintain abstinence. However, second part is not given much importance. In third part patient and family's involvement is very much important.

Appreciate you for taking such an initiative.. There is no risk associated with most of the rehab centres.. They will take care of all the tests and procedures once you approach them directly. Wish him a speedy recovery..
