[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 747577, member: 22877"] He called me this evening. He sounds so clear headed and upbeat. Apparently the rehab program is an extension of the detox he was in a week or so ago. It's a small facility, I think only 16 residential beds and maybe the same amount of detox beds. From what he says it's pretty intense, and the size allows for more individual focused attention on the participants. No idea what if any followup or aftercare plans he's looking at, but he's only one week in so there's time. Do I think this is the turning point? Possibly but I also know it could all go south upon discharge. But I do feel more hopeful this time than I have felt about anything else he's done in his battle for sobriety. And yes, my son seems to be 30 going on 13. Hopefully it's delayed development and not arrested development and that eventually he will become a mature adult in more than age. I remember his father's mother told me when we were dating that his (the father's) doctor told her he would probably be in his 30s or even 40s before he fully matured, so maybe it's a genetic thing. Only time will tell. [/QUOTE]
