[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 759742, member: 13303"] When our oldest son was 19 he found himself in significant legal trouble. It's a very long story, but the upshot is, we sent him to a thirty day rehab and he was placed in sober living thereafter. The benefits of sober living are exactly as you describe - the residents are expected to find a job, earn a salary (part of which is turned over to the sober living house for rent) and eventually work their way up to independent living. 12 step meetings are also mandatory. Unfortunately, our son has other issues which made it impossible for him to remain there for very long. He ended up moving in with us and all things considered, it was a pretty successful experiment. He was with us for just about one year. He is now living with friends in an apartment and working part time. He is starting to slip up and get into additional legal trouble. I am detaching with love. Hope this helps. If your child is willing to accept and live by the rules, it could be a life-changing experience for him. [/QUOTE]
