[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 517346"] Have you talked to the counselors about him coming home? Do they really expect you just to pick him up with no prior contact between you and him? I think that is kind of nuts on the counselors part. I think I would call them and tell them that you cant bring him home without discussing, with a therapist, what the after care plan is. That would be nuts in my opinion. As far as sober houses... I think they are pretty much the same thing as halfway houses, but are places where everyone is supposed to maintain sobriety. There are also halfway houses for other things. I don't think insurance covers them... although they often do cover IOP (intensive outpatient therapy) and some sober houses are directly connected with an IOP program. We have had experience with several sober houses. They have ranged in cost from $140 a week to $1000 a month. They provide different levels of meals.... some provide some meals, some don't. They provide different levels of services. None of the ones my son was at took people under the age of 18... but there may be some residential type programs for under 18, I don't know. Sober houses are somewhat a mixed bag....on the other hand there is support for sobriety, on the other hand it is a place full of addicts and so your difficult child will meet other addicts who are in recovery...or not. I think my son (who clearly is not himself committed enough to recovery) has found other people to do drugs with at every sober house he has been at (and kicked out of them too). Good luck let us know what happens. TL [/QUOTE]
