[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 527682, member: 59"] Most all of the well respected treatment centers say the same thing about not going back to where they came from. They all encourage the addict to start a new life in a new location, usually around the area where they were in treatment because hopefully they have built up some support among people they have been attending meetings with. If the addict goes right back to their previosu environment it's a disaster waiting to happen. Every time she went near an old drug house or saw an old druggie friend or read about something in the papaer it would be a trigger. Alexandra has been around, quite a lot. She was in a well publicized drug bust in a town near where her parents lived and she was living with some serious drug dealers who were not only dealing but manufacturing drugs. She really can't get away from her past by staying there. I don't have much hope that Alexandra can stay clean and sober. I already see signs of relapse and so do her parents and Mom goes back into reactive mode and I know that only too well. Erin is scared and when parents get scared they try to control the situation and Alexandra will rebel. Dr.Phil knows that. Nancy [/QUOTE]
