[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 479271"] You mentioned earlier that he had been in his current program for a month. Have you (or his counselor) seen any improvement? I do not know enough about treatment programs to make any recommendations - but if there is no improvement at a month, it could be that it's the wrong program for him. Or if not the wrong program - just the wrong time. Regardless of how terrific the program is. You mentioned that you can sustain the fees for 5-6 more months. I think I might give it another month - not the 5-6 more months you can afford. I'd save those funds in case he WANTS help in the future. That's the most important component from what I understand - he NEEDS to want it for it to succeed. Do you have any rapport with his counselor? What are their thoughts? I apologize if I sound ignorant -- but it sounds as though you could be in the same place in 5-6 months but with a much lighter wallet. I am not sure that is wise. Can you bribe him with some (tennis) court time? I play tennis (mostly horribly) and one of my instructors is a Div I NCAA college coach (who teaches middle aged moms in the mornings) and from what I know, MrSam is right on the money. Rock and a hard place, I am so so sorry. [/QUOTE]
