[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 718175, member: 18958"] There are physicians in private practice that supervise withdrawal. They are called addiction specialists, I believe. Yes. He needs medical supervision. But that can happen now. It may be that you will be required to okay it with craft. Think about it. There is no resident physician at a psychiatric hospital 24. I worked at prisons in psychiatry many years. 95 percent of prisoners went through withdrawal with minimal supervision. I am not recommending this. Believe me. Ok. I realize your son is not motivated to stop. And he needs containment to be successful. But would it not benefit you to talk to such a physician who will associates to address compliance, psychiatric-education, counseling. But you do have options. You do not have to sit here with him you guys tied up and bound as hostages in your own lives. Letting him and the authorities (who are idiots in my view) call the shots and set the terms. You have chosen this limbo as your and his best shot. Sometimes this is all we have. Our commitment to endure and persevere what we have chosen. Until we make another choice. I am writing here not to tell you what to do. I do not know. But to express my own frustration. About my own life. He is re-offending and re-offending. How is this helping our son? Let alone us.. The terms of this craft business seem to sanction his continued risk and how it abuses you. I believe that is what culturanta is speaking to. Craft sounded good when I read about it. Theoretically. But how can this be good? This reality you are living? How is this benefiting your child and keeping him safe? How does his dropping in and out of your house in a psychotic stupor help him? I do not see how this is not sanctioning this lifestyle. I have grappled and failed with similar circumstances. And keep wanting to do the same thing. I am nobody to speak. But it seems like you are in a vice powered by your son and the system. I would call a physician who is an addiction specialist to monitor withdrawal. At least I hope I would. I would try to not let that precious month of parental control pass. Then you will have no control. It gets worse. Ps There is big big money in these programs like craft. I will not say more. What can I write? You are living a nightmare with him. Can it be stepped out of? Many parents here say yes. I have not yet found a way. I feel so bad you are suffering. It is so so hard. [/QUOTE]
