[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 526379, member: 1967"] My difficult child has the same problem with AA. I looked up non-AA meetings and that is how we found Smart Recovery. When I went to the meeting with her, many there said that hated AA. One man said he didn't like saying that he was powerless. He said he did have the power to stay clean. Another one didn't like the forced belief in a higher power. Anyway, I also saw rehab programs that said that they were non 12-step programs. Maybe that would be better for your son. The young man that I described in my post on the meeting was addicted to roxies. He said it was a very popular drug with young people right now. He was trying to go cold turkey because he didn't have insurance. Others at the meeting that had been addicted to opiates said it was one of the most horrible withdrawals that you could go through. At least your son has medical supervision while he is detoxing. I hope he takes advantage of it to get clean. I think an inpatient rehab program is essential once he detoxes. It sounds like you are handling this great. Detached but concerned. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
