[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 251671, member: 2423"] I was going to ask the same question as Sharon. And if the girl is pregnant, are your sure your son is the father? Regardless of whether the pregancy sitaution scenario is true, it sounds to me as if you need to get him into treatment away from home. Is a wilderness program or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) a viable option for you at this point? We are actually in the process of considering a wilderness program for our son J, who although medically stable, is therapy-resistant, socially withdrawn and academically underachieving. Once he finishes the wilderness program, he will likely go into an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for about 9 months. What you need to understand about wilderness programs is that they are not a final destination. They typically run for 1 to 2 months, assess the teen, begin initial treatment and then make recommendations for future placement. They break down the barriers so the teen is able to access the therapeutic process, but the short time in a wilderness program is not enough for full recovery. I do think getting your son appropriate treatment is far better than getting involved in the juvenile justice system if you can avoid it. You can't punish a disorder out of a child; you need to treat it. When you get a chance, it would be helpful to create a signature similar to mine below so we know the details of your family when we want to respond to your posts.
