[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 64203, member: 1835"] Gotta, I agree. He's doing very well in the program at the moment, but I'm sure that this is because he knows he has to in order to return home. If I had any high hopes that he would NOT return to his old habits at some point, I've gotten over it--one of the boys who he was involved with who was also put into placement returned home six weeks ago, just got off probation last week, and came home high last night. This boy was thrilled to be back with his family, immediately got a job which he likes very much, yet STILL went right out and smoked pot the second he was off probation, risking everything. Of course I hope that my son won't do the same, but, as we've been told over and over again by the therapist and you pointed out, statistics prove that most teens who go through these programs will go right back to their old habits. So, we've got to be prepared. [/QUOTE]
