[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 733213, member: 18958"] Hi Debbie and welcome to you. Do I understand? He stopped heroin and then recently restarted and has recently od'ed twice? First I will qualify this by saying my son does not use hard drugs as far as I know. But I will say If he is actively using heroin now, that is the most serious issue. There is a spectrum of how involved we stay as parents. In my case I am more involved than are many other parents here. That waxes and wanes. But right now we are in the mix. My son is 29. We are constantly spitting into the wind with him. He resists. Blocks. Manipulates. Do I know the lost, stolen clothes. He just leaves them behind. Who knows how much more peril my son could be in....he is mentally ill....without us. But many many parents step back. If he is using heroin I can see a reason to push hard for him to detox and go to residential treatment and sober living. There are free programs. Personally I do not see that as enabling. But there are parents here who would. Whose kids have found and committed to programs and recovery doing everything self-propelled. Take care. [/QUOTE]
