[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 552358"] OK so I would really love to have a discussion about the pros and cons of different kinds of treatment. I was struck by Suz statement that she felt she had to be careful not to say anything negative about AA on this board. I was interested in that part of the discussion... and then of course on that thread things really deteriorated and the thread had to be closed. I totally understand that and don't want to have a discussion where one option is totally bashed etc.... but I am interested in the topic. I know many people where AA has been really beneficial and the more I go to alanon I can see the value in the 12 steps... but clearly a whole whole lot depends on the meeting you find and the particular people you find at the meetings. So far I don't think AA has helped my son much but then again he seems to run from every program that gets close to helping him. It is clear to me that really no treatment will work for him unless he is willing to stay and do the hard work. However I have looked at a lot of treatments and there is not much substance abuse treatment that i have found that is not based on the 12 steps So I am interested in others thoughts and experiences on this and a bit frustrated that we could not have this discussion calmly and rationally on the other thread. Can we do it now? I am hoping so. TL [/QUOTE]
