[QUOTE="Nature, post: 682769, member: 19011"] What a relief it must have been for you and your family when he got on the plane! I am so happy for you and I understand you are probably feeling a whole host of emotions from relief to also guarded hope that he truly wants the help and not because of the possibility of being in trouble with the law. This is ironic as just this week I spoke to the owner of 6 Rehab/Recovery Homes -one of the good reputable facilities as not all are. My son had impending breech/theft charges against him and was sent to Detox (he lasted less than 24 hrs and bolted). Then he became paranoid the police were after him. I had called several facilities and I found an angel by the name of C. C's story was he was a meth addict for over 20 years, had not spoken to his parents in 15 , was in trouble with the law and chances were he was to go back to jail or choose Rehab. He said the threat of jail was the force that made him change his ways. Not only did he change but he went on to be the owner/operator of 6 Recovery Homes and has been clean for 10 years. C tried to contact my son and left him various messages(not sure how as my son didn't have a phone) eventually T, my son did show up on his doorstep seeking help. Overall, yes it's better if it's the addicts idea to seek help perhaps but sometimes they are unable to make the decisions themselves and interventions are necessary. What works for some may not work for others. I thought I'd share C's story with you as in his case trouble with the law was the force that made him change. So to answer your question - Yes it may possibly help. I pray that your son's Rehab is successful and hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
