[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 611058, member: 1967"] princess, my difficult child did not "want" to go. The interventionist that we used told me that only 15% of addicts go into treatment voluntarily. Most got into treatment because of court orders or family pressure. We spent a lot of money on an interventionist who found the best fit for our difficult child and then helped us through the process. It came down to a choice of leaving our house and losing all financial support or going into treatment. Even then she refused to leave so we went to court and got a temporary protection order against her and when the deputies went to our house to escort her out she decided that she would go into rehab after all. It was a three month residential program followed by an out-patient program. I truly believe it saved her life. I agree with your DG, though. If your son refuses treatment, then he should leave. Letting him live there using drugs is enabling him. In effect, you are supplying his heroin if he uses money for that because he doesn't have other expenses. That was hard to hear for me but I realized our therapist was right. I don't know anything about suboxone. It would certainly be worth looking into. There are no easy answers. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
