Trouble is she is in a vicious circle - it's difficult to treat or deal with underlying problems when a person is still using alcohol and/or substances(benzos are a mood altering drug). Most counsellors won't work with anyone under the influence and in my own case my counsellor told me she couldn't help me if I carried on drinking since she needed to know what came up once the AL was removed. My true feelings.
Combined with removing AL from the equation it sounds like a darn good motivating step though.
