[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 563114"] Susie, Thank you for your honesty. I am not planning a trip. I am thinking of a cheap ($45 a night) hotel near where a lot of 12 step meetings are located. It beats bringing him back here to wait for a bed. I truly don't know what to do. If he asks for rehab, and they release him, I cannot leave him on the street at that point and drive 90 miles home. He has been to rehab once. The insurance paid all but $1100 and some co-pays. I did pay for temp housing while he was in PHP and IOP. I did pay for the sober house for most of his stay there ($140-145 a week). He's relapsed once. There was about $125 one time charge for extra monitoring at the sober house. That's all I've invested. I'll be the first one to say he has been rude and hateful to me on numerous occasions. He is guilty of verbal abuse. This trip to rehab would again be covered by insurance. I do not know what the co-pay would be. I can tell you one thing for certain. I will not endanger my financial stability because of his addiction. There is ZERO chance of that. In fact, I plan to sell his car in the spring when prices are higher (as my former dealership owning friend advised) and use those funds to repay myself for what I have spent. The professionals have told me over and over that at his age, relapse is almost 100% certain. He is crafty and sly but the chances of him finding a rehab in area where hardly any services exist is close to zero. [/QUOTE]
