[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220802, member: 1550"] Thanks, dadfree. That's what I figured. If somebody is ready to change, and wants to change, an experience like that could help (although I think cheaper ones also can). If the person isn't ready to change in my opinion they won't change, despite if the program is good or not. My daughter also changed her life, but she did it without any program at all. She was sent away from our state and her dysfunctional friends and immediately tried to do what she'd tried so many times at our home--to stop using drugs and get on the right track. But it came from within her...she had high motivation. I think that's the key. If my daughter had gone to a wilderness camp she would have been good for a while, but, if she'd come back to the same old town, with the same old friends pushing her, I don't think it would have had a long term effect. She really needed to get away. Druggie friends can be very persistent and...very evil. She needed to start over where nobody knew her. [/QUOTE]
