[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 112294, member: 27"] JMS, I just wanted to say hi and to welcome you to our little corner of the cd family. Yes, unfortunately most of us in this little corner have either been through or are going through much of what you describe. The good news is that your son is doing well at his dad's. If he's not drugging there, I'd definitely let him stay there and sort things out. Perhaps with some time under his belt of being drug-free, he'll realize where the drugs could lead him. We had to have our son placed in a dual-diagnostic (psychiatric and substance abuse) Residential Treatment Center (RTC) when he just turned 17. It was our last ditch effort to help him after all the short-term drug rehabs and therapy didn't help. We were fortunate in that it was a great program and he had a great therapist there. He is and has been drug free now for a number of years. Even he says, however, that he was ready to give up the drugs. Nudging (forcing) him into treatment might have helped him see that he needed to clean up his act, but he still had to work the program and want to stop the drugs. Hopefully the court date will go well, and he'll continue to stay out of trouble and off drugs at his dad's. You've found a great supportive site here. We're here to help in any way we can. Hugs and welcome aboard, Deb [/QUOTE]
