[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 531993, member: 14003"] First, he has zero money. Second, just sold the car we gave him a month ago due to pot use. Just spoke to a drug counselor that suggested an intervention which we cannot afford followed by a few months as an inpatient at a rehab facility...again, our insurance only covers getting detoxed at the most for six days, IF they determine he is addicted. Then it would be outpatient group therapy which I was told has a very low success rate. He said kicking him out is not the answer, treatment is. If he won't do the treatment, then out he goes but with no guarantee he won't be worse off. He was telling me he will most likely become a heroin addict if he doesn't get help!!!! He hates needles, nothing up the nose, but will take acid. He said stage my own intervention with the phone on speed dial 911 just in case. Great. He doubts I have seen my son sober except when he first wakes up so I am use to how he is high. Really? This guy came from an upper middleclass Jewish family in the Chicago burbs and ended up being a crack addict. ****!!!! By the way, how do you punish a 19 year old for not returning your calls or texts with his own cell? What consequences are there at this age? He use to always answer his phone or call me right back, but not lately. [/QUOTE]
