[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 659641, member: 15801"] I agree although I also think a certain amount of rehab is important too...., my son has been in a lot of programs and I think although he was not totally successful in most of them he did learn a lot in the process.... and I think those things he learned are coming back to him now. I really believe if we had not intervened when he was young that he would be dead by now. He is now 23 and is starting to put things together, and again although he was not successful at staying sober all those programs gave him some clean time for his brain to develop. I think that was important but now it really is his journey and out of my hands..... but when you are talking a teenager I think as parents we have to intervene if we can. My son started using pot at age 14 and I think was drinking before that. [/QUOTE]
