[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 681698, member: 11791"] Even a "forced break" is more time away from the nastiest stuff, for the most part. It provides him with opportunity - not with a guaranteed outcome. The outcome is up to HIM. And, frankly, relapse is part of recovery so either way it may not be bottom yet. I read your description of him again. Did some of the other issues show up before drug abuse began? If not, then drug abuse may be driving all of it, but I doubt it. More likely, he has mental health issues and is not medications (or treatment in general) compliant, and "self-medicates" with street drugs. The tough part is... if they would just be medications compliant, then there is hope for the rest of the picture. But unmedicated, bi-polar or schizophrenia is a major problem, and he is dealing with both. [/QUOTE]
