[QUOTE="mentalcase, post: 745737, member: 23458"] Baggy Bags - I was considering sending my son to his dad in south America and putting him in a residential treatment center. Although $3000 a month is nothing here, in latin America that's probably a pretty posh place. I think there can be some very good places over there. I would keep an open mind and give it a chance personally. Of course, getting the info you want from them is important so that you feel comfortable...but I'd rather my son be somewhere like that than in the streets...plus, I'm sure having an ex pats kid is another little bit of protection. (I'm assuming you are an expat). If you are really worried, you could always go there yourself and check out the place. Or have someone you trust check it out - just for some reassurance. Full disclosure -I know absolutely nothing about inpatient treatment, mind you...I don't know what is normal or not but I lived in Latin America half my life and I've found some excellent doctors and medical treatment. Just something to mull over.... I would not take him back into my home until he had been in recovery a while and I feel myself and my other kids would be safe. I have to look out for what's in the best interest of all of my household. That's your call, but think about it. [/QUOTE]
