[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 718187, member: 1550"] While I wish him the best, maybe rethink letting him come home fresh out of a six month rehab, which doesnt sound very long to me. A step down, sober living would be better. Addicts can be clean while in a monitored environment. Many are. But the real test is once they are out. If it were me, I would pretty much not want him back. He will be at high risk to use again, especially if he has no step down living situation. Give him six months after being in rehab if not longer. Of course it is up to you, but guard your heart. Rehabs are a safety zone. Making it clean through rehab doesnt mean that the person can or wants to stay sober once he is back in the world again. The urge to use is still there. I have watched many here rush to declare victory after rehab only to face devestation after a relapse. Go slow emotionally!!! Dont expect too much after rehab because it is so different once they are "free." If your son is using fentynal, i was given that after a serious car accident. I have no memory of anything for weeks, until I was taken off of it. Hated it. That is a seriously mind zapping drug. I have no idea how to treat CD, but that is never fun to live with. That means he still wont follow societal rules. You need peace in your home and he is not a peaceful, compliant young man. [/QUOTE]
