[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 223044, member: 1233"] I am sorry. I doubt they discharged your son because you called and asked questions. It is pretty common for programs to have very strict rules. If your son left the building, and has had several warnings about this, then they discharged him for that. The reason they don't let them leave the bldg is that they could go out and get high and then come back in. It is a big problem in outpatient programs. It is actually common, from what I understand around here, for them to discharge a patient the FIRST time they break this rule. So your difficult child continued to push because he got away with it - pretty common difficult child behavior, but if he is doing it in the program then it can lead other kids to similar behaviors. What plans do you have now to get your difficult child into help for his sub abuse issues? Was there an agreement that he would go to the program or leave? (I am sorry, I can't remember). whatever the ultimatum/plan/agreement you had, now you are going to need to follow through with the consequences of not doing what he should in the program. Whatever you do, you have my support. Just don't let ANY of the blame for htis be on YOUR shoulders - it is TOTALLY his responsibility to follow rules, and the consequences are HIS. [/QUOTE]
