[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 712781, member: 16761"] I feel your frustration Colleen. I was not able to help my son when he asked for help either. I live in the states, but the poorest state so the situation here is dire. I have a very good in-network insurance policy, but there are no facilities here that have beds. Any private program would cost me more than I'm willing to spend seeing as how I have a daughter who will need help launching into school or skill soon. And my son will need plenty of practical help if he ever decides to change, such as loans for cars or school. I have to keep all this in perspective. And I have a very intense desire to retire at some point in my life. Don't feel bad. I did, but while waiting for me to figure everything out, my son did everything he could to continue his vices. It was made clear from people in the industry that he needs to be the one to call and he only called a couple of places. And he made those calls while high. Never could get him to do anything sober. I don't know much about detox, but I know several people in the industry said if he was using that variety of drugs (he had the same list when he talked to the one rehab that rejected him), then he was probably not addicted to any one of them. And not many of them require actual medical detox. Heroin and benzos definitely though. Sorry I don't have advice but sometimes it is nice to know you are not alone. Good luck. () [/QUOTE]
