[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 619017, member: 1967"] I was told over and over to not help my difficult child unless it was rehab or sober living. But the second she takes the right step into that direction I am willing to help. If it means finding rehabs or checking on insurance, I am happy to do that. Dr. Phil was on the View yesterday saying the same thing. Don't give up on your substance abusing loved one. Do anything you can to get them away from the drugs/alcohol. One of the interventionists that I talked to said that he didn't believe in letting your loved one hit bottom but instead to bring the bottom up to them. In our case, it was using an interventionist to get our difficult child out of our house by getting an temporary restraining order so she had to leave. Since she had nowhere to go she agreed to go to a three month residential program in another state. We brought the bottom up to her. I do agree with the others not to get him a hotel room at this point. You are just providing him with a place to do drugs. However, for future reference, we did have to pay for a hotel room for our difficult child recently and the hotel refused the credit card over the phone but did let us fax the credit card information with a picture of my husband's license. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
