[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 739439, member: 1967"] Tryingtobestrong, your son can sign a release so that medical treatment and rehab can be discussed with you. Refuse to have anything to do with your son until he signs that release! My daughter pulled the same thing when we held an intervention and sent her to a three month rehab in another state. We refused to even accept phone calls until she signed. She caved very quickly. As far as spending money on his recovery, I wouldn't do it unless he asks to go. Otherwise, you are just paying room and board until his next relapse. He has to want to get sober. Does your son have insurance? If so, many rehabs will accept the amount the insurance will pay and there will be no out of pocket for you. Several of the places my daughter went to did that. If he doesn't have insurance, some places offer "scholarships" for non-paying patients. They are few and far between but they are out there. Get on the phone and start calling. I wouldn't say there is a 0% chance that someone that doesn't go to treatment willingly will get sober. But it is a very low number. Our interventionist put it at 15% for clients that went into treatment because of family pressure or court order. I also think that our troubled loved ones get something out of rehab each time they go but don't expect the first time to be the last. My daugther was in five rehabs and countless sober living facilities. When she decided to get sober, she found her own treatment center and then voluntarily spent a year in a sober living program. One more thing . . . many sober living houses are simply out for the money. My daughter moved onto heroin in one of them. Several that she lived in while she was in Florida are now under federal investigation for insurance fraud. Do your homework! There are good programs but there are many more bad ones. [/QUOTE]
