[QUOTE="dadside, post: 336832, member: 5707"] I believe outpatient drug rehab programs are of limited value when the participant doesn't want the help, which seems the case here. If you can, find some local program that offers teens other, active things to do, and provides some counseling along the way. I've seen one Boy Scout troop offer that, and know of at least one organization that offered weekend camping trips (at modest cost) - again with counseling thrown in. The idea is to get the teens doing something positive/healthy that they like, and provide positive role models without making the whole thing a counseling/therapy experience. [Some good therapeutic wilderness programs do much the same, although without necessarily requiring willing participants -- and at significant cost.] [/QUOTE]
