[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 601996, member: 14557"] Well, that would likely not be the worst possible outcome with my difficult child's case. Maybe I should just tell him to keep his mouth shut, be polite and promise he will likely get coffee there. Could be much worse. To be honest I don't see addiction treatment anyway a priority to difficult child in this point, so him not participating and not getting much out of GA would not be a bad outcome. What I worry about is that he would decide to be oppositional about it. To ruin the group for others, who are there to get help or to do something rebellious just because he doesn't like that he is coerced there. If you ask me, he would benefit much more about a plain old supporting therapy twice a month in this situation than anything addiction concentrated. He will take a break from his exposure therapy. He may continue having an appointment every two weeks via skype through his old therapist for supportive therapy, but isn't interested starting new intensive therapy in this place, which is easy to understand, he won't be there more than about eight months and that is too short time for therapy he needs.
