[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 558423, member: 59"] in my humble opinion most addicts would benefit more from a residential treatment program followed by an IOP/After Care program. AA almost always is part of both of those programs so it is not an either/or situation. Frommy experience it is difficult for an addict, especially a young addict, to have a lot of success with some type of treatment that takes them out of their environment and allows them to put their entire focus on recovery. What did you find out when you called your insurance company last evening when you went to your AA meeting? I suspect whatever program you go to will depend mostly on what your insurance will allow. I know you said you had great insurance but very few insurance policies pay for inpatient stay over a certain number of days. From my experience many insurance companies pay for outpatient only. You have said you do not want to go behind your parents back and they are not in agreement over this. When does that stand? Have you made contact with any of the treatment centers you are considering? I disagree with your comment about your many times of dedicating yourself through AA though. If you have never gotten a sponsor or worked the steps you did not dedicate yourself to the principles of AA. Not thast I think that is what you need right now because from everything you have said I truly believe you need inpatient treatment, but don't assume AA doesn;t work based on your experiences. I also get the feeling that you are being way too intellectual with all of this, almost like you are collecting information for a research project. You are an addict from your own admission. You can't stop and you think you may want to use occassionally. You are failing out of school, hiding from your parents, your credit card is maxed out, your life is out of control. What more do you need to know before you decide you want help and will go whereever you can for it? [/QUOTE]
