[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 610728, member: 1967"] I really don't think that 35 days is enough time for rehab. I was told that it takes 30 days for all of the drugs to even get out of their system before they can be clear headed enough to respond to treatment. I hate that insurance companies get away with refusing to to cover the longer needed stays. Quite honestly, if your son is using heroin you are in a life or death situation. I would do anything and everything I could to get him back into a longer residential program. We faced this same dilemma a year ago and ended up using quite a lot of our life savings to get our difficult child into a 90 day residential program followed by a 2 month intensive outpatient program. I truly understand your reluctance to spend that kind of money but truthfully after my daughter's heroin overdose and realizing how close we came to losing her, the money didn't matter to me anymore. I don't know if your son could be covered under the Affordable Care Act but I know that mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment is mandated under the AFA. Maybe you could look into that for your son (when they ever get the website straightened out). ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
