[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 759718, member: 15032"] Welcome My son went to many sober living locations while in Florida (see part of my story below). Most of them were very good. I think it is what THEY want to get out of it that makes the difference. I worked closely with the house managers of most and I truly had a great love and admiration for the men that ran them. They were all former addicts so they "got it". One told me that my son was very smart and he felt he would be okay eventually. I didn't believe it. If it's a reputable place, the tools are there for them to stay on track. My son was very young like your son. My son was too young, immature, and drug brained to really get what they were selling. He did not improve until he attended a 13 month Christian based program in Memphis. PM me if you want more information. Now my son will finish up college this December with an associates degree in Computer Networking and will be CISCO certified. It has not always been smooth with him here. We have had to redirect him many times but at least he's on board with being redirected. Before he was not. We are originally from the Chicago area but moved to the Gulf Coast of Alabama for my job while he was in the final program so he was able to start fresh here. We are moving back to the Chicagoland area when I retire in 5 years but I feel confident that our son has moved on from his bad behaviors and he is now 25 so his life is his choice. We had to go through a lot of hell before things got better. I would not wish this on anyone and I truly hope your son takes this chance to turn his life around. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
