[QUOTE="DDD, post: 586466, member: 35"] Hugs, Zardo. I understand your concerns as we had easy child/difficult child in three rehab programs. He, too, has needed stims since he was in early elementary. The first program allowed stims, allowed cigarettes (age 15!) and drove all the teens to an in town AA meeting five times a week. Yikes! The second and third program did not use AA as the format and focused on individual decision making. Both had an MD on staff who distributed the stims (or other medications) as prescribed by the teens MD's. Personally none of the programs gave us the results we were hoping for and cost us too many bucks. on the other hand, I do think that the separation from home and "homies" was helpful. Sad to say I believe that the "cure" is most dictated by the passage of time. The teen years are a son of a gun. Usually by 25 you have an idea of whether or not your difficult child will be able to function as an adult. Just wanted you to know that I read your post and I understand. DDD [/QUOTE]
