[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 674193, member: 18958"] QS, I think you did the right thing. I would take with a grain of salt anything your son says a this point. He is making others responsible for his own choices. In facilities such as this it is the psychiatrist's job to offer medication. If others are drug addicts, what is he? He is there to detox. It is not Club medication. It sounds like he is trying to write his own treatment plan. It calls into question his motivation, at least for now. I think you and your husband were strong, in refusing to allow him to stay at the house. I would think through whether or not you want to continue paying for a motel or subsidizing him, at this point. I hope he did not jeopardize his participation. But of course, the consequences are his. Try to pull back. This is about him. Not you. You have done everything right. Hold onto that. But you cannot do it for him. Stay strong. Keep posting.
