[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 717632, member: 15032"] I hear you too but at the age of 17 - it's a long shot isn't it. My son is in "forced rehab" right now. Yes that's correct. A former therapist who was also a former addict told us that we needed to force it. We don't wait until "he is ready". I said I did not even know we could do that. She said if he doesn't comply, let him be on his own. We've done everything else - so why the hell not do this? So far he is in rehab and being compliant. This has been going on several years. Not what I had envisioned but it is what it is. He is there and he is safe. He is bound to learn something from the program and all the people that are there. He says this time he going to put everything into it. He says this after totaling a car his father bought him a few years ago and just gave back to him after last relapse. We are conducting an experiment I think. [/QUOTE]
