[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 672766, member: 59"] Helpless mom in Tx, don't panic. This happens all the time in rehab. At first I couldn't understand it because what good does that do, they are addicts. If they were angels they wouldn't be there. My daughter broke just about every rule in the rehab with the exception of drugs. They had to write a new rule book because of her, she found ways around all rules. But the one thing they did not ignore was bringing drugs into rehab. It has to be that way, otherwise it would quickly get around that they just accept that behavior. Can you help find him another rehab? We are lucky in our area because we have quite a few, some run by hospitals but many run by former addicts. It was not uncommon to have someone in rehab that had gotten kicked out of several others. They don't just stop doing drugs and ignore temptations when they first get into rehab. It looks like your son has only been there two weeks, he still has drugs in his system. Addiction is a stubborn devil, it tries to pull you back in over and over again. We were told that the average addict relapses 7 times before they get the message. I would be on the phone trying to find another rehab right now. Often the place that he is in will refer you to another, they understand this is common but they still have to enforce the rules. You can refuse to help him and I would never judge that. There is something to be said about holding to what you said. I couldn't do that until after I exhausted all other treatment options. Once she refused any more help she was on her own. [/QUOTE]
