[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 719849, member: 15032"] My son is back in rehab until my husband is able to fly to Florida to take him to the new faith based program the week of October 2. They were very kind to let him come back since he has not been respectful of their program but the people there are great and they like him a lot and said he is part of their family. :( I have his bed reserved at the new place. He will be there 13 months. The last 5 months will be working full time. They said most graduates leave with a couple thousand dollars to put down on a car, apartment etc. There are about 30 guys in the program so not too large. Others had 60 and I felt that may be a bit overwhelming. The last part of the program is their transition time where they help guide them on how to merge back into normal society. I think this is critical for my son. Naturally he wants to just "come home", work and go to school. Doesn't he get any credit for the time he's been in Florida he asks. I told him he started out good but then things got bad. He did not get sober. I told him that he cannot control the addiction. He has proven that time and time again. I had to tell him that right now he is an addict, a thief and a liar. I will not have that in my home. I told him he has to trust his parents to guide him into doing what is right. He agreed to go but obviously not thrilled about it. The intake person said they never are initially but their success rate is very good. The program he is in now thinks we are making the right choice for him also and said they have heard many good things. They just had 2 spots open so I felt that was my sign that this is the right direction. Here we go again! This is the final straw for us. [/QUOTE]
