[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 606020, member: 1514"] Finding out a beloved family member is shooting anything into themselves is just a shock most parents arent equipped to deal with. We can wrap our heads around pot and booze but the harder drugs just hit you like a ton of bricks. I do think some intensive outpatient programs can work if they are very intensive. There are those who you will never force into inpatient for a variety of reasons. Some have to work, some have no other form of child care, some have other issues. Real life isnt Dr Phil where he manages to fix it all in the outside world so the person can go into long term treatment. One thing that may help you get an idea on how much he really wants to change is to put a call recorder on the cell phone he uses. It runs in the background without him knowing but you can go back and listen to all his calls. On the good ones you can hear both sides of the conversation. This is something we want badly for our children and we try to make them see how much they have hurt us. Sometimes that is enough, sometimes not. *Good luck with this. [/QUOTE]
