[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 682750, member: 1967"] The interventionist that we used said only 15% of addicts go into treatment voluntarily. Most are either court ordered or pushed by their families to get help. Yes, he is probably going because he is running out of options and is in trouble with the law. But he still didn't have to go so this is a good thing. Getting off the drugs will clear his mind and then he may be more open to getting clean. It might not work the first time but he will gain something from it and who knows? He might be one of the ones that gets it the first time. Depending on how long and heavy he was into opiates, he may need medical management to stay clean. From what I have been reading, that is becoming the standard protocol. You might want to ask his therapist about Vivitrol or some kind of maintenance medication. Use this time to take a deep breath and relax knowing he is safe and in treatment. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
