A woman I've been dating has recently gone to an inpatient rehab for alcohol abuse. I have a couple of questions, because this is all unfamiliar to me.

1. she cannot have ANY contact with people on the outside. This seems unusual to me that she can't even call anyone, since this was 100% voluntary; not court-mandated. Before she was admitted, she told me that she would be able to call me. Also, she said that she could have visitors. Neither is the case.

2. I just found out from her mother that she's staying an additional 28 days. Is this common? She had already been sober for about 6 weeks before she entered rehab.
