[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 510480, member: 59"] Great news TL. I never found out much about difficult child's detox either but she said it went smooth(of course we know about addicts lips moving). I do know they gave her trazodone and something to help her sleep but that's all I know. I know a lot of the people in detox with her had a lot harder time because of the kinds of drugs they were on, heroin and benzos among the worst. She was in detox 5 days and they said that was good for the amount of alcohol she was drinking. I'm so glad he's moving onto the next phase. This is the hopeful time, when he gets to take a look at his life and how he got there and what part drugs played. You probably won't hear much from him and that's ok. They told us at difficult child's treatment center that in the beginning they don't encourage them to stay in contact with family that much, they want them totally absorbed in what they are doing in treatment. They also told us that when they did contact us we should keep it upbeat and light, no heavy conversation and if they start complaining to tell them they can do it and you are proud of them period. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him and hope he really moves forward in this program. Nancy [/QUOTE]
