[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 609071, member: 1967"] I couldn't agree with that more. And even when we do, parents often are not receptive to being told that we suspect that their child is using drugs and/or alcohol. I know I have become gun shy after trying to reach out to parents of students who I suspected were using drugs. A 90% success rate is astounding. I actually think is sounds a little high but I hope that it is right. Even so, it certainly is going to be higher than students who leave treatment and go right back into the same social groups. I totally understand your feelings of sadness about what your son will miss during his senior year. However, he is alive and sober and that is the important thing. by the way, there are colleges that have sober support programs that you might want to look into. There are even half-way houses specifically for college students. We had looked into a highly rated one for difficult child when were still hoping that she could finish college. Your son is still very young and has his whole future ahead of him. You are doing an amazing job advocating for your son and finding programs for him. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
