[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 760045, member: 22380"] Miracle, my son transitioned to a sober living apartment after 30 day treatment. He is across the country from me so it was more difficult for me to get involved and that was probably a good thing. The program had a case manager and they offered him several options close by for sober living. He came up with a million reasons not to go, the biggest one being he didn’t want a roommate. It seemed each day that he called with news why this and that wasn’t going to work. Finally he went and boy do i wish we had stumbled across this sooner. He has to follow the rules to be able to stay there (work or volunteer, go to meetings, weekly drug tests or breathalyzer, ) He finally has the structure he needed that wasn’t me.And he enjoys it there! He has made friends , and they hold each other accountable . They carpool to meetings and they have given him a perspective on life that he needed. Of course it’s up to him but it does seem to be the perfect combination of freedom and structure. He has a month to month lease that he has to pay as well. Also he is in a program through his rehab that meets several times a week for therapy, medication management, group therapy etc. I hope he continues to use his resources .We too used his college funds for this treatment. Insurance covers a lot but still costly. [/QUOTE]
