[QUOTE="AHF, post: 484076, member: 11180"] What sends off alarm bells for me is the idea that he wants to go to these places--detox or the sober house or wherever--because he does not want to be homeless. This has always been the case with Peter Pan. And yes, needing a roof over one's head can be a powerful motivator, but once he gets the roof he can fall back on noncompliance until he faces not having the roof (and maybe the 3 squares a day) again. So I worry for you and send hugs & support ... but I also wonder, if the cycle starts up again, maybe you should require that he try some outpatient stuff from a homeless shelter, to be sure that it's the treatment he wants and not just the shelter from the rain?
