I was just wondering if it would make a significant difference to the patient if he had friends after going to rehab. Will this affect his continuance of alcohol sobriety?

Yes. An individual needs friends who are sober, those that will help him steer clear of alcohol. It's always difficult to stay sober when one is constantly faced with temptations. A network of social support will help the patient from falling into relapse. The patient would need people who knows what he's been through and would help him keep up what he has accomplished while undergoing alcohol rehab.

A supportive social group would be beneficial. It would aid the person in how to be in a social setting with no alcohol present. The best resource would be a sponsor of some sort that the patient could contact whenever a moment of weakness came upon them.
Hope this helps!
i dont think a network of alcaholic buddies is wise, friends .. yes,, if he surrounds himself with good friends who dont abuse alcahol or drugs he might have a better chance,
i'll tell you from personal experience - the MOST important thing is to AVOID the network of 'friends' that are NOT supporting the sobriety of the individual that got out of rehab..... some 'friends' can try to start one back again...
