[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 712733, member: 18958"] I just did a cursory search which revealed that such private programs are not regulated in any way. True or not, I do not know. In the States there are public programs and non profit, private programs. Your son has been living independently and in the USA an argument could be made that he is financially independent of your support thus would qualify for subsidized programs but as I write this I remember that there are long delays. A non profit program might be religiously based, but not necessarily so. Here programs like Synanon or Victory Outreach would take anybody, I think. Or Goodwill or St. Vincent De Paul or Salvation Army are names that come to mind. I do not know about what is in Canada. I would be very cautious about spending that quantity of money. Throwing money at this is not a guaranteed solution. Considering the potential for relapse and if it is true, that many for profit options exist largely to take advantage of parents in our situation. Detox can be supervised on an outpatient basis by a physician specializing in addiction. Or if son is in school, does he have insurance through them? Could he enroll with this manifest purpose to get help through them. Or can he get health care by paying extra? In the USA this is the case, frequently. His old university would know of resources, possibly. Is it worth a call? I have been looking online at work study options for residential ashrams, mediation centers, etcetera. spiritual retreats that offer the option of living there, free classes and counsel, healthy environments. What about thinking about phases. First, detox and 12 step programs. Then, changed environment and re-education in a program such as this which would be very low cost. [/QUOTE]
