[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 139404, member: 3579"] NOLA, sorry if I don't remember... But has your son been through any kind of long-term residential rehab? We're facing the same thing with McWeedy, and after the judge, the prosecutor, AND his attorney all told him how serious the situation was, well, he was [B]much[/B] more open to the inpatient rehab/halfway house option if it kept him out of jail (or shortened his sentence). No guarantees he'll get it (he's sitting on his duff waiting - in vain - for someone else to "make it all happen"), but he's definitely sniffing around. I've gotten referrals to two good programs up in my area, and I'm aware of one good one down in your area of the country. Maybe you could use our goal for McWeedy as an "option four": Get to rehab, stay in the program, WORK the program, get out and go to a halfway house (there's a really good one just up the river from you), and you won't go to jail. Anything else, we boot you out and then call your PO (not necessarily in that order). I don't know if that'll work for you, but at least it's another option. PM me if you like. Mikey [/QUOTE]
