[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 32336, member: 27"] Katmom, first of all, I'm so sorry. Yes, as I've always said, if you even have a suspicion that they are using, they are. After living through it, we all have our mommy instincts in full throttle. As for pot not being addictive, I vehemently disagree with any counselor, insurance agent or whoever argues it. With my son being Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), obviously it make the obsessiveness more severe, but my son was totally addicted to pot - whether it be physical or mental addiction. I definitely agree with you regarding the pot addiction. Our insurance company (also BC), did pay for the short-term inpatient rehabs (the 5 days or whatever), but as soon as the word "residential" is placed in the facility's language, they would not pay. They also denied an extension on my son's agreed upon 21 day stay at the adolescent substance abuse hospital. They released him after only 12 days because the insurance company wouldn't agree to the extension of time needed, and that very night is when he was arrested for the felony that went on his adult record. He should have never even been out on the streets, as he wasn't ready to be released, and the substance abuse hospital knew it, since they had set up his program to be 21 days, not 12. Ughhhh. I hate substance abuse. Once you've drawn your line in the sand, you know what you need to do. It's not easy, but it's hard living in the chaos too. So, stand your ground. Sending you hugs. I know this is hard. Deb [/QUOTE]
