[QUOTE="Lucedaleblessed, post: 277011, member: 6747"] We never came to the drug use phase, but she gave us a battle money worth. We were very open with her about that it had to stop. She shouldn't leave the house once we were at sleep and we dared her into a weekend boot camp in Howell, Michigan. She went in tough believing that if she could show us that she couldn't be pressured for a weekend, she had shown us that she could survive any program we could think of sending her to. Well it wasn't a boot camp where they drilled the kids until they died, but she got wet and cold and saw that she could do better choices because the boot camp is also used for rule violators from a therapeutic boarding school in Utah and she talked to some of the long-term students. We have always suspected that she had a brain turned off somewhere inside her head and she made use of it. Now she is a easy child 80 percent of the time or she might be better hiding what she is doing. I have spoken with several parents at our High School. For some it is simply not enough to go down to our local Residential Treatment Center (RTC) here in Lucedale and see that such places exist. They have to experience them on our their own body before they believe that we have rights as parents and are ready to use them. Unfortunately most wilderness programs are expensive or run by another church group with different values than ours, so they were really never an option for us (Don't tell my daughter). The same goes for the therapeutic schools. If you have no college fond or have no room for a second morgage you cannot afford them. There should be more short-term intervention programs out there, so we didn't have to risk ending up loosing them to the system because we are left with the police and court system as only option.
