[QUOTE="kt4394, post: 685440, member: 20273"] Thanks to all of you for reaching out. We are trying to get the courts involved...hoping that will help and set him on the way to recovery. We want him in rehab, but only have insurance coverage for the outpatient programs we have tried so far. I'm constantly searching for somewhere to send him - rehab/therapeutic school - and it's insane how much it costs! $20,000 for a 28 day program, $70,000 for a year of therapeutic boarding school. How does anyone do it?! What about wilderness programs/boot camp places? I hear so many horror stories. Any insight? Hoping that getting the courts involved will either force him into taking the help offered and helping him to quit (wouldn't that be nice!) or force him into a inpatient rehab facility of their choosing, then hoping for the best. I have been searching for some kind of support program and there doesn't seem to be much near me. I am thinking of going to Al Anon or maybe Nar Anon. Any recommendations? I have heard that Al Anon is a little less intense and Nar Anon is more hard drug support (heroin, etc). I found my son with the coedine, but I also know that pot is his main drug of choice. Does anyone know if Al Anon is more alcohol related or if it even really matters? I suppose support is support and I can use anything I can get right now. My son called me tonight from the hospital and I didn't answer. It was so very hard. I wanted to talk to him, but I know it was just going to be him trying to manipulate me. He wants to be taken out of the hospital. Right now, he's still where he was brought by the police. They are waiting on a placement somewhere else. I'm hoping that comes tomorrow. For now, I'm just praying and trying to be strong. I appreciate any and all help and advice. Thank you!! [/QUOTE]
