[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 526350"] Well I had a LOT of trouble sleeping last night... its been a while since it has been like that. I kept thinking about AA and how many people here had trouble with Alanon and maybe AA is not the right program for my son. He may be right he needs something else... who knows. So I went looking on the internet and found a bunch of info on non-AA rehab programs. I found a referral place for them....so I decided to call my son back this morning. I just cant leave him to suffer with absolutely no support as he did get himself to detox. So we had a better conversation this morning. He has trouble making calls so I did agree to find out what info I could but I told him there is no way I am finding the place for him. It has got to be his decision. He agreed. We talked about what he didn't like about AA and it matches up with some of what I found on the internet. I do think maybe he needs to try something different. Truth is I don't care what program he goes to, I just want him to find a way to get better. I did ask him to be honest with me about what he was now addicted to. He said it is roxies.... gosh those of us on this board learn about all kinds of new drugs we have never heard of don't we? Anyway I looked it up on the internet again and it sounds like it is an opiate, a form of oxycotin. And it is highly addictive and definitely causes serious withdrawal. He thinks they may just discharge him to the street.... and he said if they discharge him while he is still dopesick he will definitely use again because being dopesick is worse than anything he has been through. I said hopefully if you get clean you will realize you don't want to go through this again and he agreed. I also did tell him that i did not like him hanging up on me yesterday. That his dad and I love him more than anyone and we love him no matter what he has done. I think he heard that. I am sure he has an attitude at this place because he thinks they don't know what they are doing and I am sure that is not helping their attitude towards him. It doesn't sound like a great place and he has yet to learn how to work with people and places he disagrees with. So anyway I feel a little better about our conversation this morning....and i will try and help him find some treatment. This still sucks though. TL [/QUOTE]
