[QUOTE="Teree61, post: 552629, member: 15227"] Rumpole, thanks for your response. I'm still so confused as to how to handle my son. Sometimes I want to kick him the hell out for causing so much chaos in the house and at other times I want towrap my arms around him and not let him go. I am in such turmoil every day. He actually did call the place that I gave him the number for and he has an appointment tonight. I really hope this helps. As far as the tough love, that frightens the hell out of me because anything could happen to him and I don't just mean in the drug sense. If he is on the street, he could be mugged, robbed, or worse and I would never forgive myself if something did happen to him. I always felt that he is safe if he is home even if he was high because I would be able to watch him throughout the night, which I had to do this past weekend, both nights. I msut also add that he did OD in April. He took some Xanax and then a while later used Heroin. He came home and was passing out in the ktichen. His father (whom I am divorced from) was at the house and knew he was high and sent him to bed. About ten minutes later he went in his room to check on him and he was on the floor and his face was blue. His father immediately called 911 and the paramedics treated him with the same thing you had. He was revided and brought to the local hospital where he stayed until the next morning. We brought him home and for the next few weeks saw a great change in him for the better. But eventually that wore off and he started his old tricks again. At this point I don't yet feel our personal safety is at risk, although he has stole some things from me in the past, not in a long while though. At the same time, I have given him rules to stay in the house and eventually he breaks all of them. He seems to have this attitude that he is entitled. He is always in my room looking for things and by that I don't mean stealing. I mean he'll take my laptop, batteries, candy, whatever he finds that he wants. I always tell him that there are boundaries to someone's personal things and that he needs to ask first. As far as the Suboxoned program, he tested positive at almost every drug test and his last appointment he missed because he was in court, big surprise. He is now seeing an internist who can presribed Suboxone, although he hasn't yet because he is still in the testing stage, blood work, EKG, all that stuff. If he choses to use the Suboxone every day he can probably beat this, but he doesn't. I am also worried that it will be hard for him to break from the Suboxone as well. It's a vicious cycle here. I hope and pray that the program we are going to tonight is the one. I will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
