[QUOTE="Wakegirl, post: 582411, member: 15912"] Also wanted to add that my son has also been attending outpatient rehab, and his attendance has greatly declined, even though it is required by his prosecutor. He also claims that he only has his old friends (that use drugs and drink) to hang out with. It may be a sign of the times, but I won't tolerate it. He was raised with wonderful morals. But the drugs have axed them all. I have been told by many of his therapists that he really needs to remove himself out of his current environment. I've found a nice Residential Treatment Center (RTC) out of town, and he knows that I'm willing to support him as soon as he says he's ready. But until then, I'm done enabling him by giving him a cushy place to eat, sleep, and be a bum. As someone said on here, nothing changes if nothing changes. I highly suggest not letting him come back home, once he gets out, unless he is ready for intense treatment. I've tried kicking my difficult child out for several months at a time, only to have him go back to his old ways. This time, it's for good...until HE is ready for help. [/QUOTE]
