[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 605979, member: 59"] Hi princess, I'm sorry for your son's regression. No program is going to work. I have found that all programs depends on the persons willingness to want to change, and that change does not happen overnight but often happens after many relapses. Heroin is a difficul drug to get off in an outpatient setting without medication to lesson the severity of the withdrawal and urges. As far as our vacation I don't know how to answer that. I would not feel comfortable going myself unless my difficult child was in some sort of residential program where I knew he couldn't get out. On the other hand it isn't fair that you should have to cancel your plans because of him. I would not pay one penny of tuition or college expenses at this point. I have seen no good coming out of a young addict going to college and promising to stay clean. [/QUOTE]
