[QUOTE="PittDoraj, post: 496845, member: 13500"] Thank you all for your continued advise and support. My son called this morning to apologize for his actions last night. The hospital called to say he stipulated to doctor recommendation, which I have been told will likely mean discharge tomorrow since my son has given no indication that he is a threat to himself while at the hospital. We know this means we are right back at the start of the cycle. I plan to lay out a clear set of rules for the house (no drinking, smoking pot, lying, stealing) or he will have to leave. In the meantime we will help him find a place (but will not pay or sign for anything), he will not have access to his car (that we pay for), and we will help him find a job. His therapist is going to see him the day after tomorrow and suggest a 3 day per week out patient dual diagnosis program and a 1 day per week one-on-one session. My wife and I are looking into a support group for us to attend. Our experience has been that our son will not follow through with the group sessions or anything that deals with the substance issues. I think all we can do is try and the first time he fails on the rules we need to follow through with making him leave, again. The strength I need is not letting him back in the house until he has taken action on his own. [/QUOTE]
