[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 707966, member: 1550"] I am so sorry for you. I remember those days. I pulled my daughter out of school to homeschool her and keep her away from her drug friends but she managed to sneak out of the house anyway. Wevturned her in to the police and she was put on parole (at fifteen and seventeen) but it didnt stop her. Personally, from what Ive seen and read for fifteen years on this forum the only treatment I would trust or put that much money into would be a lock in mental health treatment facility (residential treatment). If he comes home at night and thinks he is fine, he wont work hard on getting better. No treatment, expensive or the best, works for anyone eho isnt interested in changing. It cant be forced. No matter the reputation. No matter if you go broke trying to fix him. At least residential treatment keeps them off the streets and they are forced to get treatment. Does it always cure them? No. They have to want to get better. But he cant use drugs freely and it is less likely he can commit suicide in a residential mental health facility for as long as he is there. They have 24/7 cameras. Throwing money at the problem rarely helps. My daughter did not go anywhere..other than a therapist and one three week hospital stay in which her psychiatrist said she did not abuse drugs (she did) and that she had bipolar (she does not). The therapist she also conned. We didnt know how bad the drugs were either. She conned us too. [SIZE=16px] But she quit!! Even cigarettes. Its been ten years or more. She quit because she was tired of using drugs and told us the horrific details of her drug use after she had quit for two years.[/SIZE] We were shocked. Horrifief. Dhe has told me to share her story to help.she is back to her sweet, wonderful self. I would not think you can do much with outpatient treatment and drug use. Drugs change them to a different person and their lives start revolving around the drug of choice, whatever that is. He probably will lie and steal too. Unfortinately, he probably is minimalizing his substance abuse. Most of them do. I am very sorry you have to take this unfortunate trip. Please dont take it personally. Its about thrm, not you. You are a good patent. Never forget that. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
