[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 245836, member: 1233"] MWM has some excellent points. I know it is hard on you to be separated from your child. But sometimes what YOU want/need simply must be a lower priority than what your child NEEDS. If drugs are the issue, the child MUST be away from the situations and people he used with. So Residential Treatment Center (RTC) may be the way to go. I don't know. I DO know that YOU need to go to Al Anon or Narc Anon. Drugs are a family disease. Parents simply MUST go to meetings so that they learn what is enabling and what is not and how to not enable. Right now you have a 15yo and you are staying with him 24/7 to keep him from doing drugs? It won't work. He WILL find a way around you. Drug users and alcoholics are wily, clever and sneaky. Esp if getting off drugs was YOUR idea and not HIS idea. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
