[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 623838, member: 1967"] comaheart, the interventionist that we used told us only 15% of addicts/alcoholics seek treatment on their own. The vast majority go because of family pressure or a court order. Some get better and some do not but you don't know who it will be. Is it worth the chance it could be your son? Absolutely. Do you have to be aware that it might not be your son? Yes. However, a fellow board member said something to me that I value very much. She said that each time our troubled loved ones are in treatment they learn new skills about recovery and even though they might not apply them at that time, the knowledge is there and they can use it in the future. Even my difficult child said after she relapsed that she knew what she needed to do for recovery after her time in inpatient. She is just having trouble avoiding triggers. I am hoping that the current IOP will help her get there but am still cautious about my expectations. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
