[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 682785, member: 15032"] I agree with toughlovin. I thought my son's first rehab would do it and I was sorely wrong but it's what we knew at the time. It's a move in the right direction. My son went to rehab this last time because it was either that or eviction. I was able to gain strength to give him that option (and follow through if need be) from the people on this forum. He said he didn't want to be there but he knew he needed to be there after his head cleared which took about 3 weeks total. He is now in sober living and since he's not yet 21 he is very immature and I still don't know if he'll truly change but he's doing good and has a job so I'm being cautiously optimistic. They key for us was NOT letting him come back to the same environment. It was our home but not the healthiest place for him. Yes a hard pill to swallow. Now he has goals in life and I really hope he can achieve them and I think he now knows he cannot control his addiction to benzos. Take this time to take care of yourself and I pray for your peace and that he does what he needs to do! [/QUOTE]
