[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 554001, member: 1550"] My opinion and experience is that if the person doesn't want to stop using, the person will not stop using, no matter how much you try and spend on rehabs, even if they have tons to offer. Without extreme motivation (it's hard to quit using), in my opinion it's a waste of money. My dautgher quit on her terms when she wanted to quit and how she wanted to quit and it didn't cost her or us a dime. She just quit because she was determined never to turn into one of her friends...a friend who had track marks up and down her arms. That scared her straight. Nothing else did any good. But that did. I don't think it's a good idea to go broke trying to sober up a difficult child who isn't ready to do it. When they are ready, they probably won't even need a rehab. [/QUOTE]
