yes, if you can find a treatment facility prepared for dual diagnosis, please utilize it... there was no such thing, or I didn't know of any back in the early 80's.... My counselors, peers and least of all me, was prepared for the rage that surfaced while in a 30 day rehab. I am still amazed I hung on until I found my first therapist who understood and helped me to at least understand where the rage was coming from. It was still years later before I was diagnosed with PTSD... so many totally insane times back then.... but if you REALLY want to get sober, nothing will stop you.. hope you can find child care that you trust so you won't worry... we are cheering for you.. This is a huge courageous step.... best of luck to you...
