[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 557421"] Thank you ALL!!! Okay - further info: The other girlfriend ended up leaving (I didn't see her huffing and puffing out of there). difficult child came out renewed as much as I hate to say it. A hole is thrilled that she is in treatment and she told him she would write him since she didn't know when she would make it back out there. He told her that he is on the straight and narrow and wants to attend rehab himself. Considering it was a drug charge he was hit with, rehab could very well be an option for him. He is trying to get a bond hearing so he can enter rehab. I hope he is serious, too. I can support that. She came out even more determined to attend treatment. She even cleaned out all of her paraphenalia and seemed happy to say goodbye to it all. I was all too happy to get rid of it - lots of needles. :( Again, the program is not the Ritz Carlton. It is a block of apartments in a gated community and there are about 6 - 7 people per apartment. The woman that runs the program told me that difficult child talked to them for about three hours when she went there the first time. Three hours! I had no idea. At the time, I thought she was just looking for a hide out. Again, the love I felt there was just beyond belief. The love and protectiveness they had for each other was amazing. There was a man that was leaving the program early and the others were very upset about it. What I think difficult child likes about it is that it is not in a hospital/clinical setting. When we went to the other "rehab" yesterday, I got a cold feeling - not that anyone really cared at all. Very impersonal. This place was so different. So [I]personal[/I]. I am convinced God led us there. First she went to court and ran into this old friend that just happened to need a ride several towns away to a rehab that difficult child falls in love with. I dissuade her and say we would find a cheaper place or something that insurance covers. A hole goes to jail, we end up there yesterday and I feel it is perfect for difficult child. Had I entered her in there before, I think she would have left to be with A hole. Now with him locked up, she can't just run to him. It is a perfect situation. She was so grateful, so loving, and so sweet.
