[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 517617, member: 12490"] So - somewhwere in my post I got confused, your son is already in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Yes, you did the right thing. What choice did you have? Again, your story is very similar to mine. At that age, there is a culture today of "pot believers", it's in the music, the clothes, everything and everyone. Some can handle it, mine and yours cannot. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) will give him that chance to be reached. I still stick with the IOP reccomendation for afterwards. They may reccomend a Therapeutic Boarding School, many do. I think a local IOP is better becauase they get the chance to incorporate sobriety into their real-life instead of just being locked away from all the "bad" things. IOP gives them a chance to grow within their own lives. You may wwant to start looking around now so you have options. Be careful to have good support set up, like an IOP when he comes home. Counseling once per week will initially not be enough. [/QUOTE]
