[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 492536, member: 59"] pinevalley when our difficult child went to rehab it was the first time in years that we could go to sleep at night and not worry about where she was or what she was doing, so I certainly understand. When you go to court you may have an opportunity to talk to the prosecutor. Does your son have an attorney? In either case you may want to tell them that you would like rehab to be part of the sentencing. Courts do not want to send young people who have drug problems to jail. Jails are overcrowded and they have more serious crimes to deal with. I understand he was arrested for burglary but if you make it known that he has a drug problem and is currently in treatment they will probably order that instead of jail. Then he will have to remain there until the rehab center releases him and he may even have to go to a halfway house after that. Many of the people difficult child was in rehab with were court ordered. The facility had to prepare reports for the court every month and if the person left he is then held in contempt of court and the original sentence is imposed. Nancy [/QUOTE]
