[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 673792, member: 59"] I understand your concerns. Your daughter is so young and so I agree that it is a worry that she would meet people that were into harder drugs more seriously. That was what my daughter was faced with when she went to rehab but she was 19 at the time and we had no alternative. An outpatient teen program might be much safer. Why don't you call the program and tell them your concerns. Perhaps their program is split by age, so that the younger ones and not with the older teens. Maybe they can give you some insight. Knowledge is power, the more we know, the more we network, the better able we are to handle what comes up. If I were you I would be looking to change her environment also. We had our daughter in a private school until high school. The public high school she attended is in a very good community, but still she gravitated to the bad kids. They are like magnets, they will find them wherever they are. I will just add though that no matter what supervision we gave our daughter, no matter what activities we had her in, it was a challenge. I will say however that had we not been as vigilant I think things would have been far far worse. Keep us updated on how things are going. [/QUOTE]
