My son will move from the detox center to rehab today. He has had very limited phone contact while in detox but will get his phone back today. I am so nervous about that! His girlfriend reached out for help due to heroin withdrawal the day after he left, we tried to get her help but then she refused, says she did detox herself and doesn't need help. I think she is still using. She doesn't have the money to pay the rent on their apartment and is having to move out, they were allowing drug dealers to stay at their apartment for drugs and I mean drug dealers that had guns. It's absolutely not safe there and it's actually not even safe for either of them in that town. She's upset that we won't pay the rent or help her get another place, that would just be setting up another drug house so it's not happening. We have all begged her to get help too but she refuses, she can go to her mothers home, she has a place to stay. Anyways my son will talk to her today and she is going to lay a huge guilt trip on him today that he left her to deal with everything and that she is going to be homeless. My son is on my insurance so he had the option of a nice rehab in California, she is on Medicaid and can go to a rehab in our state. I think she thought I would send her to a rehab in California and when she realized I would only help with what her insurance pays she didn't want help. Sending my son is costing a fortune with insurance. I'm not one of those parents who wants to put the blame on someone else for my sons actions but his life has drastically changed and gone down hill since she came in the picture, several of his friends have even told me that she calls all the shots and if he doesn't have dope waiting for her when she gets off work that she spits in his face. He is just as addicted to her as he is drugs and I'm praying for them to be separated. I'm afraid he will want to leave rehab when he talks to her. He will also be trying to get me to help her get a place to live and if I don't then blame me for him leaving.
