[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 509418, member: 12490"] WHat I can tell you from my experience is that as much as it seems like he will never "accept" this program, I think you may be pleasantly surprised. The hardest part is just getting to that first session. Once they are there, they meet other kids who have been struggling too and it's almost a relief to them. In the groups, they can talk to these kids in ways that they cannot talk to the general peer population. It's also ironic how all the difficult children can see where each other are going wrong and they do come to support each other in heathly ways, even when they cannot see their own issues. My son did 3 months in Wilderness and a 6 week IOP program all with kids that were similarly difficult child. During his time in these programs, he was the healthiest he has ever been. Kathy may be right that the in-patient to start may be best to clear the drugs so that WHEN he does the IOP, it's more productive. [/QUOTE]
