[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 680135, member: 1967"] Hello. Sorry for my delay. Things have been hectic so I haven't checked the site as often as I like to. My daughter has been in countless sober living facilities. None have worked for her but that is on her. She has been in expensive ones and in flop houses. Strict programs and ones with very little oversight. The bottom line is that if they want to drink or use they will find a way. If anything, being around other addicts makes it easy for them to get drugs and alcohol. We just spent another $1000 to help our daughter get into a halfway house when she showed up at our house recently after living in another state for four years. Three weeks later, she was kicked out for using again. I guess I am very cynical right now but I don't know if halfway houses are going to help your son get or stay sober. But the good things about them is they provide our troubled loved ones with a place to stay and keeps them from causing stress in our homes. I'm sorry that I am not in a more hopeful state of mind. There are those that do get sober and stay sober and we have some examples of that on our board. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
